  1. CONSEQUENCES OF IGNORING A COURT ORDER TO SETTLE CHILD SUPPORT

  2. When two people simply cannot find common ground anymore, divorce is a viable option. It may not be easy to settle or to adapt to the changes, but it is necessary for both parties to continue with their lives. In most cases, the ones suffering the most are children.

  3. Even when going through a divorce, most couples will get an attorney to represent their best interests. Before the divorce is finalized, the court will determine who will get custody of the children. At the same time, one of the parents will also have to provide the other with a sum (determined by the court), known as child support.

  4. SEVERE CONSEQUENCES If you are a parent who refused to provide your ex-spouse with child support, and at the same time, you ignored a court order to settle child support, you could be facing severe consequences for your actions. Your ex-spouse may seek legal help and file a lawsuit against you. The court could move against you, and take away part of your wages (as well as additional payments for refusing a court order to settle).

  5. There are certain government agencies that could garnish your wages, as well as: ❏ ❏ Prevent you from selling your properties ❏ ❏ Prevent you from renewing your driver’s license ❏ ❏ Move to another state ❏ ❏ Leave the country ❏ ❏ Renew your passport

  6. If you insulted the court or the judge or refused to show up multiple times, the decision will be made without you. The judge will (along with your ex-spouse and their attorney) determine what they will do and find a way to collect payments previously issued. Additionally, you could go to jail, or “contempt to court”. You Could Go To Jail If you need help from a knowledgeable and experienced Westlake Village family law attorney to get the help you, Contact The Law Offices of Ronald K. Stitch.
