Re: Child support

The court will help you negotiate without direct contact, or will make a decision after a hearing. You will be paid through DOR/CSE. The arrearage will also be addressed by partial payments.

If you need a further consultation, please feel free to contact me.

Re: Child support

Restraining order has nothing to do with paying child support. The court will order MDOR to collect payments both current and past.

Good luck
