Enforcement of Custody & Support Orders
Garden City Child Custody Attorney
The law provides for circumstances in which one parent is not conforming to the
child custody or support arrangements determined during the
divorce. If your ex-partner is failing to pay support in full, is hindering your
involvement in your children's lives or failing to meet his or her
responsibilities regarding them, call us today.
Your Garden City family lawyer can work to prove a pattern of conduct which
interferes with your
visitation rights or your relationship with your children. Based on this information,
your ex-partner could be held in contempt of court. Your legal representative
can guide you through the routes available for recourse to protect your
rights as regards your children.
Support enforcement begins with administrative measures and can escalate
to court involvement as necessary.
Steps taken can include:
- Wage withholding
- Income tax refund offset
- Lottery prize offset
- Driving privilege suspension
- Seizure of liquid assets, e.g. bank accounts
- Liens against real or personal property
-
Referral to the Department of Taxation and Finance, authorized to use all
methods of tax collection for the collection of past due
child support
- Credit bureau reporting
- Suspension of business, professional or recreational licenses
- Requiring the payer to post an advance payment against which future child
support payments can be drawn
