Re: deadbeat dads

A NY child support order is enforceable by various remedies. The payee (the custodial parent) may be able to recoup attorney's fees incurred in bringing enforecement action. Feel free to call me at 212-367-9167 to discuss your particular situation. I do not charge a fee for the initial consultation.
