What happens if a parent fails to pay court-ordered child support?
If a parent fails to pay child support, there are several things that can happen. The court can order them to pay it. The court can hold them in contempt and put them in jail until they agree to pay what they owe. Finally, the court can issue a garnishment to recover the income.
How can child support enforcement actions help recover unpaid support?
By issuing garnishments or ordering a payment plan, the person who has been delinquent in payments must pay or face legal consequences. It is possible that the parent simply does not have the resources to cover the debt. However, child support payments are something that cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. It may take time, but you will receive what they owe you.
Can child support orders be modified if financial circumstances change?
Yes. Child support orders can and are often expected to be updated and changed as time goes on. When lives change, as children age out, the support orders must change with them.
