Child Support Enforcement Attorney Legal Services

The failure to pay support in Florida may have serious consequences. If the motion for contempt is granted, the Department of Revenue can suspend your driver's license, levy your bank accounts, seize your tax returns or report you to a credit bureau.

In Florida, a motion for contempt for failure to pay support may come from different methods, such as:

• If support payments are made from one parent to the other, the custodial parent may file a private action to enforce a child support order.

• If child support payments are made through the court, the Florida Department of Revenue may file a motion for contempt.

In the event you have moved to Florida after a divorce has been finalized which has a standing child support order from another state, you can have that child support order registered in Florida so that you may have the child support order enforced in the Florida courts.

If you are the parent that is delinquent in paying child support, it is important to note that being unlawfully denied access to your minor children by the parent that has primary residential custody does not lawfully allow you to abstain from making the court ordered child support payments. An unlawful denial of access to your children should be handled appropriately by filing a visitation rights hearing with the court.

If significant unforeseen circumstances exist that make it difficult to make the court ordered child support payments, rather than simply stop making child support payments, the lawful way to handle this situation is to file for a child support modification hearing.

Resolving child support issues should always be conducted through the proper legal channels. If you have child support issues it is important to know what your legal rights and options are to ensure your child support issues are handled properly and lawfully.
