Q: My ex husband was ordered to pay child support but I have not received payment would the state withhold the payment
A: You can have the court issue an income assignment. That will require his employer to withhold the support payment from his paycheck and send it to the child support enforcement agency which will then send it to you. Child support enforcement can set this up for you or you can retain an attorney to do this.

A: More information is needed to answer your question. Are you asking if the state would withhold payment from you or if they would withhold it from his pay? Is the Child Support Enforcement Unit in your county involved? Without knowing more it's difficult to assess what you are needing.
