Child support enforcement

If you are having trouble receiving scheduled child support payments, your first call should be to your government enforcement office. Unfortunately, the delay and backlog of enforcement issues may mean that you will be placed onto a long list of people with child support enforcement problems. As experienced family law attorneys, we will seek court remedies and sanctions against your ex-spouse to help enforce child support obligations.
