Re: child support

Thank you for your interesting question. Without knowing more facts it is difficult to speculate about the manner in which to proceed, or your likelihood of success. In particular, I would want to know more about the nature of the "receivership" and the location and nature of the account, among other things � such as whether there is a probate proceeding.

As a very general matter, it is certainly possible to enforce a child support obligation by garnishing the obligor�s interest in almost any type of bank account. If the obligation is currently being collected through the child support office in your county, you should certainly bring the account to the attention of the child support officer assigned to the account. If the child support office is not involved, I would suggest immediately bringing a motion to enforce the support obligation against this account � and I would request the funds in the account be sequestered (locked up, essentially) until the matter is resolved.

I have no idea how long this account is been in existence, but I would think that time is of the essence, and that you should take action sooner, rather than later.

You may certainly feel free to contact my office if you have additional questions about this matter, since this is a substantial part of my practice. My contact information is below. Again, thank you for your question.
