A: My question would be whether you went to court on a motion of your own before a Judge or if the probation department held an enforcement hearing with a hearing officer. Depending on the circumstances, I would say file a motion to place him on a one-missed payment status, request a warrant for his arrest, have his license suspended, seek wage garnishment, and many other options. You should consult with an attorney to discuss the details and history of your case and what you can do to obtain payment of child support.
