QUESTION
How can my ex-husband contest a child support order when he has never paid it?
Asked on Mar 08th, 2014 on Child Custody - New York
More details to this question:
The judge has ordered my ex-husband to pay child support. He never has paid anything! So I ask for help from the Child Support Agency, and he contests it! He won’t get a job, so they won’t take it out of his check. I guess my question is, how can he contest a support order that he's never paid?

He cannot. Put him in jail until he pays.

Contesting an order has nothing to do with whether or not a person has paid it. It is based on a theory that the order was erroneous.

He can contest the order on some grounds, however if he doesn't have good grounds it is unlikely that he will win.
