What happens if my ex isn paying the court ordered child support?
If you have a court order to receive child support, you may bring an enforcement action in court if it is not being paid. In an enforcement action, along with some other remedies, you may ask the Court to order your ex to go to jail for failing to pay child support. You may hire an attorney or call the Office of the Attorney General to enforce your case. Each option has its advantages and drawbacks. The advantage of hiring an attorney is the speed and certainty that your case will get to court.
