Rochester Child Support Lawyer Explains What to Do if Your Ex Stops Paying

I am frequently asked as a Rochester Child Support Lawyer, what to do if an ex stops paying court ordered child support.

• When a spouse, former spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend – stops paying ordered child support, the onus falls on the person who should be receiving it to file a petition in the Supreme Court or family court to enforce that child support obligation.
• Once application is made, the court will look into the specific circumstances.
• The support recipient will then ask that future support be paid through child support collection.
• Asking that an automatic wage deduction be taken out of the defaulting person’s paycheck will avoid the necessity to repeat the child support collection battle.
