Q: I have been going through Child Support Court for almost a year now. We will officially be done in less than a month.
He is suppose to pay $1000 for child support a month but does not. I know he can lose his DL and such but at some point can I not allow him to see our child if he’s not paying any child support?
A: You should not withhold access to the child. If you are not receiving support, Child Support Enforcement (CSE) can take action if your payments go through CSE. You could also file a Motion For Contempt and file an affidavit of arrears to obtain a judgment on which you can attempt to collect. You should consult with an attorney about options to collect the unpaid support.
