Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Delinquency in Child Support

Dear Inquirer:

Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client relationship, unless a written retainer agreement is executed by the attorney and client. This communication contains general information only. Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client communication nor legal advice. There likely are deadlines and time-limits associated with your case; you should contact an attorney of your choice for legal advice specific to your personal situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

Apply for a Wage Assignment Order. This order can include arrearages and, if the court order states a specific amount, child care costs too; howver, reimbursement of medical expenses usually is not included in a Wage Assignment Order because the amount is indeterminant. "Pressing charges" involves filing a contempt action in the court that made the order. Doing so is quite technical. Contact an experienced Family Law attorney in the California County where the order originated for specific advise and possible representation on your behalf.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry, and good luck with your case.

Re: Delinquency in Child Support

You can get a wage assignment without a court hearing. You will need to file a motion to set the total amount that he owes you for back support on the child care. You may ask the facilitators office for assistance, but would be best off with you own attorney. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
