Miami, FL asked in Family Law and Child Support for Louisiana

Q: Hello my son father was court ordered to pay child support 17months ago and he never made a payment but he's still work

I filed through the state with no attorney. Child support office is claiming they can't find out where he work. He's a truck driver with cdl and they still haven't suspended his license with 20k in arrears. If his license is threatened to be suspended he'll pay.

A: Following up on the post of attorney Badeaux, I would recommend that you contact a few family law attorneys in your area----some will provide a complimentary consultation---some do not, so ask ahead of time if there will be a charge----and meet with the attorneys, specifically discuss your case and weigh the recommendations and costs and then decide whether or not you want to hire a private attorney to assist you in this. It may be worth it. Good luck.
