If child support for my child is not paid, how can I respond?

Hello. This is a divorce attorney at Daeryun Law LLC.

You are troubled because you have not received child support from your ex-husband.

When child support is not paid, you can use methods such as a payment order, an order to comply, and compulsory execution .

You can apply to the court for a child support payment order when child support has not been paid on two or more occasions.

In addition, you can also apply for an order to comply. An order to comply is one in which the Family Court orders the obligor to perform the obligation to pay child support, and if it is not followed, the obligor is subject to disadvantages such as an administrative fine and disclosure of the child support obligor's information.

If you still do not receive child support even after using a payment order and an order to comply, you can also collect child support through compulsory execution, such as attachment of the obligor's property and a judicial auction.

As shown, when child support is not paid, there are various ways to collect it, but it is not easy for an individual to decide by which method to collect child support.

Therefore, we recommend seeking the assistance of a divorce attorney to collect the overdue child support and future child support in a manner appropriate to the situation.

Based on its experience handling related cases, a divorce attorney at Daeryun Law LLC will assist you in collecting the overdue child support using a method suited to you.
