QUESTION
What should I do if my children's father is not giving his share on the childcare expenses?
Asked on Mar 14th, 2014 on Child Custody - Illinois
More details to this question:
I have a custody agreement which states he is responsible for half of all childcare expenses. He is in the rears of $10,000 plus. Is this something a child support office could help me enforce. I am completely lost and can't strain my finances with an attorney as I am supporting both our kids on my own. I need some direction please.

You need to file a contempt action to show the court that he is not complying with the court order.

If it is contained in a court order, then you can go to the child support services dept. They can help you

You need to take him back to court to enforce the judgment and/or court order stating he is supposed to pay. You should also file a rule to show cause as to why he shouldn't be placed in jail for nonpayment.
