If Support Enforcement isnt giving you any satisfaction, then I would suggest retaining a private attorney and have your ex-husband held in contempt. Your results may not be different but, at least, you would have more control over the pace and scope of the litigation. Best of luck. PAS

Re: does not pay child support please help

You should ask the court to hold the father in contempt for violating the support decree. This will give you a decent chance to collect some of the back med pay and get him current on his support payments.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
