Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
child support
My ex husband owes me back child support of at least $20,000. He is supposed to pay $544 per month (3 kids) but only pays about $100. There is a court order and income deduction, but because he's a waiter, he gets away with paying very little. (They can't garnish tips, which is his main income) I am struggling very much, trying to make ends meet. CSE will not help me. How can he get away with this and what can I do? I am extremely frustrated!

There is no magic wand to make your money appear. Your only option appears to be to hire an attorney who can assist you in trying to collect the arrearages.
