QUESTION
My Ex is active Military and isn't paying child support
Asked on Mar 08th, 2018 on Child Support - Utah
More details to this question:
I have a child support order with the State of Utah; however, they are telling me that because he is active military they can't default his non-payment and force him to pay. They are basically telling me that until he contacts them and sets up payments there is nothing they can do to collect this money. Is there another route that I can take to get him to pay the support? In addition, I no longer live in Utah I am now living in Colorado and am wondering if I should file for support here; would that help my chances, not sure how the laws on this vary from state to state.

From what you say, your support order is only through the state's office of recovery services, and not through the courts where you have a court ordered support. That makes life very difficult, and ORS does not often actively pursue cases.
If you open a case on Colorado, they will simply move over to Utah's case. It may not be helpful.
What kind of case is it?
