Enforcing Child Support

Do You Need Help Enforcing Child Support?

Tampa Child Support Enforcement Attorneys

If you and your spouse have come to an agreement regarding child support or child custody, it is very important that you both adhere to that agreement. If you want to make changes, you must file paperwork and have a judge sign off on the changes. Sometimes one parent can run into a situation where the other withholds financial support for some reason. This type of situation can be frustrating and emotional for the family involved. This can be a very difficult and stressful situation with emotions running high – and we understand that you don’t want to add any anxiety or unwanted complexity to your children’s lives.

A competent child custody lawyer will let you know what your rights are in this type of situation. You have every right to let the Florida courts know that the other parent is refusing to honor the terms of the child support or child custody arrangement. It is their duty to maintain an equal standard of living for you both. We can help you gather the proper evidence to prove that the other parent is not following the pre-arranged agreement in order to help the courts understand the situation.

What Happens if a Parent Does Not Pay Support?

When an individual signs a contract in court, they are making a vow. It their duty to uphold their agreement. It is also a parent’s responsibility to make sure their children are well provided for, regardless of where the child is. If the parent fails to pay child support, they can face multiple consequences. A violation of a child support or child custody arrangement can result in serious penalties such as:

  • Incarceration
  • Bank account levies
  • Tax return seizure
  • Driver’s license suspension
