Tampa, FL asked in Family Law for Georgia

Q: Ex boyfriend is delinquent on two child support payments. When will I get that money for it?

He pays every other month. I can't afford not to get the payments. I don't ask a lot but he missed September and now November.

A: If you don't receive payments through child support services, you should write (e-mail or call) and ask him about the payments. If he refuses to pay or claims he cannot pay, you'll have to file a contempt action. You don't necessarily need an attorney to file the contempt action. However, you may want to retain one if you are uncertain about court procedure.
