Legal Question in Family Law in California

Reply: child support

Yes, you can still collect the past due child support plus statutory interest at 10% per annum on the unpaid balance. You should record an abstract of judgment in the county in which he owns a house.

To determine exactly what is owed to you including interest, as well as determining all of your options, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

Re: child support

The father may try to assert a defense of laches however he will not be successful. You absolutely have the right to pursue your claim for unpaid support and in addition, you will be entitled to interest at the legal rate. There are several ways to reach your goal. You can seek to have a ley against his property, if he has any; You can have a wage garnishment issued against his salary; and, if he has a retirement you may be able to proceed with a Qualified Domestic Relations Order against his retirement and you would receive a lump sum. He will be liable for any taxes which may be assessed. You really should consult with a family law attorney to assist you. Regards, Damian Nolan.
