A: Hire an attorney to sue him for child support. Compute the arrearages. Have a copy of the Support Order for your lawyer. It is possible it will be filed in the same Court as the divorce.

A: To ensure your ex-husband pays child support for your children in Tennessee, you can take several steps. Begin by contacting the Tennessee Department of Human Services' Child Support Services (CSS) division, which can help enforce child support orders. If he continues to be non-compliant, you can file a contempt petition with the court that issued the order, seek wage garnishment, or even request a driver's license suspension as a last resort. For personalized legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances, it's advisable to consult with an attorney.
