Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
If you are behind on child support, can the courts make you withdrawal your retirement or 401K to pay for your arrears? Or can they take assets such as a car that is paid in full?

The simple answer is that they can put you in jail until you come up with the money. If you want to get out of jail, maybe you would choose to take money out of a 401k. Generally, they can't take cars unless the person owns more than one vehicle because you need the car to go to work.
