Collecting Child Support

For custodial parents who are having trouble collecting child support, there are a few different avenues they can take. A child support attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced can help the custodial parent obtain the money they are due. By taking the non-custodial parent to court and asking the judge to ensure that he or she pays the child support they owe, the attorney and the custodial parent can force the non-custodial parent to pay. The Office of Child Support Enforcement is another avenue many custodial parents take, and this office can help custodial parents with many issues, including collecting child support. The Office of Child Support Enforcement is able to garnish the wages of non-custodial parents, issue arrest warrants for them, suspend their driver's licenses or even take lottery winnings and give them to the custodial parent. It's important that children receive support from both their custodial and non-custodial parents, and both of these avenues can help custodial parents who are experiencing difficulties collecting child support that they are owed.
