QUESTION

Child support way past due

Asked on May 06th, 2015 on Child Support - Florida
More details to this question:
I have 3 kids with the same father. He has never made a full monthly payment. I'm taking care of my children on my own, and I need him to be responsible. After all they are his kids. He doesn't see them, call them or take care of them financially! They are growing and is getting harder for me to provide for them.

Your best bet is to go to your local child support office and ask for the Attorney General (they have a child support enforcement division) to file a contempt case against the Father. They have many powers, like suspending his driver's license, garnishing his tax return, and eventually putting him in jail. If he has a job where he receives a paycheck, the child support amount can be directly taken out of his paycheck (it is called an Income Withholding Order). Otherwise, you need to file a motion for contempt and set it for a hearing. Best of Luck, Helena Y. Farber, Esq. ~Associate Attorney~ Law Office of Cindy S. Vova, P.A. www.vovalaw.com
