Is unpaid child support causing financial strain? You're not alone. Navigating child support recovery can feel overwhelming, but understanding the steps involved empowers you to take control. First, document everything! Keep records of missed payments, communication attempts, and any agreements made.
Next, contact your local child support enforcement agency. They can provide valuable assistance, including locating the non-custodial parent, establishing paternity (if needed), and enforcing court orders through wage garnishment, tax refund interception, or even license suspension.
Consider legal counsel. A family law attorney can guide you through complex legal procedures and represent your interests in court. They can also help modify existing support orders if circumstances have changed significantly. Persistence is key! Child support recovery can take time, but with a strategic approach and available resources, you can ensure your child receives the financial support they deserve.
