Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

Assuming you have previously obtained a Court Support Order, there are steps you may take to enforce the Order and collect support if your ex has recently failed to comply. The Support Enforcement Services is a part of the Judicial Branch that helps parents enforce and modify their child support orders. You may also choose to hire a private attorney to help you with this matter.

Child support may be collecting through different methods, if payments are not being made after a court has issued an order. The court may find the non-custodial parent to be in contempt if they have willfully failed to obey the court order. If the parent is found to be in contempt they may be ordered to pay a lump sum of money. They may also be incarcerated until a certain sum of money is paid.
