What are my options if child support goes unpaid?

Many custodial parents want to take the law into their own hands when child support goes unpaid. Unfortunately, even if you are not receiving child support, you cannot withhold visitation. Similarly, just because a custodial parent is not granting visitation, you may not withhold child support. If you are being denied your rightful payments or visitation time, it is important to contact an attorney who can help you assert your rights and seek court ordered enforcement.

What happens if I do not pay child support?

Failing to make child support payments is a matter courts take very seriously. In addition to being held in contempt of a court order, the court may order incarceration to secure compliance. If you are unable to make child support payments, it is important to consult with an attorney who can help you obtain a post-judgment modification to reduce your liability or make your payments manageable again.
