Legal Question in Family Law in California
My ex has stop paying court ordered spousal and child support for a few months now. Contempt has been filed and court date set. Process server says he is evading service. Can the courts get involved at this point without him being served because of the process server statement? Or will it be continued to be delayed until he is served? He has moved out of the country before and I strongly believe he will do it again. He also has previous attempts to not comply with others parts of court order and has been very costly for me. He is very aware of the court ordered support. What else can be done? Thank you.

If he is employed you can attach his wages. The maximum amount that can be attached is 50% of his take home pay.
A contempt motion is a quasi-criminal motion requiring personal service. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore your legal options on the best way to proceed.
