Re: chilld support arrears

They say that you can file, but the judge can also dismiss it. Furthermore, some judges won't let you refile, until they review it first. The most common reason to file is that there is a change of circumstances - ie he is making less. However this does not do away with the back child support.

He is stuck.

Now, what are you doing to collect it. Does he have a job, resources.

We handle collection matters in child support throughout the state.

Please give us a call. We can't handle these matters on a contingency basis, but we are reasonable in our fees.
