Re: Motion to Adjudge
No. You may file a Motion to Adjudge in contempt at any time your your ex is behind in child support.
Keep in mind that it is best not to file such a Motion until your ex is more than 2 weeks behind on support payments. Since you are well beyond that point a Motion to Adjudge your ex in contempt is completely appropriate. Since the state represents the State's interests and not yours, it is best not to wait for the state to file the motion because the state's attorneys have quite a bit on their plate as it is.
Should you need a low-cost consultation to determine your rights or how to go about this, please do not hesitate to contact me.
My best to you regarding your success in this matter.
