Custodial parents who are unable to collect child support from non-custodial parents can use several methods to ensure that they receive the money needed for their children. One such method is to hire a child support attorney. This attorney can take the non-custodial parent to court and have the judge force him or her to pay with several consequences that may happen if he or she doesn't. Since attorneys are knowledgeable in child support laws, there are many methods they can use to ensure that the custodial parent is able to collect support for their children. Another method is to contact the Office of Child Support Enforcement. Custodial parents will find that there is a branch of this office in each state that can be contacted through the Department of Human Services. This office can help custodial parents collect child support by suspending the licenses of the non-custodial parents, taking the money directly from their paychecks each week, or even sentencing the non-custodial parents to jail. This office is a very valuable resource for custodial parents and can help them collect child support more easily.
