Re: Child Support

Child support.com is a private collection agency that specializes in helping collect child support arrears. They do not, by themselves, hvae the power to compel payment. However, if you do, in fact, owe child support arrears for your daughter, they do have to be paid, even if you are paying support for other children. The fact that child support.com is not an official enforcement agency is irrelevant. If they do not get you to pay, your mother's daughter could take you to Court and seek a finding of contempt. I would be glad to discuss with you ways of straightening this situation out. If you would like to, pleae contact me.
