Re: Child support & medical
Support enforcement can't bring a contempt action over $2,800 but you can. You can retain counsel or do it yourself.
It is complicated. If you have access to a family law facilitator or a clinic they may be able to answer your questions so you can do it yourself. Otherwise, consider getting a lawyer.
The lawyer can, in this situation, ask you to sign a contingency agreement where your fees can come out of the recovery. This may help attract an attorney if money is an issue.
Also, this is a good time of year because if he's working for wages he'll be expecting a tax return soon.
Hope this helps. Powell
