My Former Spouse Isn’t Paying The Court-Ordered Child Support. What Do I Do?

Failure to comply with court orders is very serious, and failure to comply with court ordered child support is even more serious still.

Any violation of a court order can result in a criminal contempt charge in New York, but when a spouse gets behind on child support payments, the court’s actions can be swift and painful.

Some of the collections actions that New York can take against deadbeat parents include wage garnishment (called “Income Execution”), interception of unemployment insurance benefits, seizing financial assets like bank accounts, suspending their driver’s license, and more.

If your former spouse is simply choosing not to pay child support, help is just a phone call away.

The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer can help you collect everything owed to your children.
