What Happens If I Fall Behind on Child Support or Spousal Maintenance Payments

2013-08-02 83

My name's Amanda Szpakowski. I am the family law legal assistant here at the Bornmann Law Group. I specialize in anything family law-related; custody, visitation, father's rights, anything family law.

If someone was to fall behind on their child support or spousal maintenance, what we could do is we would usually file a petition to enforce the child support or spousal maintenance. If they are behind, it goes into what's called arrearages, and they're required to pay those as well. If someone is extremely behind in child support and spousal maintenance, it can result in incarceration. If we do a petition to enforce the child support, we can have wages garnished, incarceration is often put into place, and we can get those funds back for what is due.
