Ex-Spouse is Not Paying Owed Child Support | Child Support Enforcement Unit
After a child support order has been entered, sometimes people don’t get paid the child support that they’re entitled to. The law allows for enforcement of those orders. Somebody can be taken back to court and get a judgement against them. The Child Support Enforcement Unit will sometimes suspend their driver’s licenses, they can seize banks accounts, seize income tax returns, and even seize vehicles and any other property that they have. This will be done in order to take that property to satisfy the child support obligation.

Ex-Spouse is Not Paying Owed Child Support | Shared Medical Expenses
In addition to child support payments, there are add-on expenses, which are the day care expenses and the uninsured medical expenses. Those expenses are handled outside of the Child Support Enforcement Unit and are generally separate from the basic child support obligation. If one parent is receiving basic child support obligation, but the other parent isn’t paying their share of the medical expenses or their share of the day care, the parent owed should keep receipts and go back to court to file a violation petition. They will have to tell the judge that they have not been getting that share of their child support. As long as sufficient proof and evidence is produced, one parent can get a judgment against the other, which is then enforceable through the Child Support Enforcement Unit.
