What measures exist to ensure that a child will receive court-ordered child support?
Child support laws allow you to have immediate wage withholding included in your child support order. Wage withholding, as with other payroll deductions like for insurance or taxes, are automatically subtracted from the paying parent’s wages by their employer and paid directly to you or your state’s child support registry. Wage withholding will be included in your support order unless you and your child’s other parent agree otherwise or there is good cause for an exception. If wage withholding is not possible or insufficient, an experienced family law attorney or the Child Support Enforcement office in your state will have other means available to enforce the support order.
