Learn MoreIf a noncustodial parent falls behind on child support payments, the custodial parent has options for enforcing it, but they must be carried out through the court. A judge can use income withholding, wage garnishment, interception of tax refunds, liens, or attachments to property to ensure payments are made. A court can take punitive action if these methods are unsuccessful, including license suspension, passport denial, and even jail time.

Costs depend on many factors, such as the time your attorney spends on your case, the complexity of the issues, and the filing fees and other court expenses. Your attorney may be able to suggest ways that you can minimize your costs by taking some simple measures while your case is pending.
