My ex-wife has her own computer programming service. How can my child support enforcement agency find out how much she earns, and how can they collect the money?
Your State child support enforcement agency has access to information from the Internal Revenue Service to determine her income and assets. This information will help to set the support order amount. Cases involving self-employed noncustodial parents can be the most challenging to work, and often take more time and effort. If it is not possible to arrange for an allotment or withholding, it may be possible to secure liens on her payments from regular clients or to garnish her bank account. If her business depends on having a license, she may make arrangements to pay rather than risk losing her license. Knowing that arrears will be reported to a credit bureau may give her a strong incentive to comply with the order. Provide your caseworker with as much information as you can about the business and her clients.
