Q: My sons father is supposed to pay child support, hes running a non profit organization with about 12 people and works.
He is telling child support that he cant work because of the pandemic and so they reinstated his license. But goes on vacations and leaves the state often. How can I get my child support if he is able to work.
A:
You have to be able to prove that he is working, or that he is spending money on vacations and trips so that the court can calculate the income he has based on the amounts of money he is spending. If you are only having hearings in child support enforcement court, you must remember that the attorneys there work for the state and not for you. Therefore they are not gathering evidence or doing extra calculations for you. You may need to transfer your case to a family judge instead of a child support judge.
Good luck!
