Child Support Services
Many custodial parents find themselves in a real financial predicament when the non-custodial parent refuses to pay child support, the IV-D government agency does not have the time or resources to get the job done, and there is no money to pay a large retainer fee to a law firm, who will keep your retainer whether they collect or not!
Understanding this predicament, our firm has taken on a considerable amount of amount of pro bono work, providing legal counsel to custodial parents who want to learn more about child support law, and even attempt to enforce their own support orders. Our firm has enforced many support orders free of charge, even at the appellate level.
Our firm also enforces support orders on a contingency basis, which means if we don't collect, you don't pay. Although enforcing support orders on a contingency basis is an extraordinary risk, we are often willing to take that risk, depending on the facts and circumstances of your case.
We highly recommend that you first hire your local IV-D agency to enforce your order, because there is no charge to enforce a support order through a IV-D agency. However, if your case is not getting the attention it deserves, you may want to consider hiring our law firm to get the job done more aggressively and effectively.
After your case has been evaluated and an audit has been completed, we will evaluate the facts and circumstances of your case to determine which enforcement remedies will be the most effective at compelling payment of support.
Enforcement Remedies
There are many different enforcement tools that may be utilized by our firm. After evaluating your case, the right enforcement remedies will be implemented to compel payment of your support order.
- Locate services to find the respondent/obligor
- Income Withholding Orders
- Real property liens
- Liens in probate cases where the non-custodial parent is a beneficiary
- Liens in the non-custodial parents' probate case
- Liens on life insurance policies
- Liens on business and personal assets
- Levy of bank accounts
- Writ of attachment
- Contempt actions (possible incarceration)
