What steps can I take if the non-custodial parent refuses to pay child support?

Asked 6 months ago
If the non-custodial parent refuses to pay child support, there are several steps you can take to address this issue. First, it is recommended to communicate your concerns with the non-custodial parent and try to resolve the matter amicably. If this fails, you can involve the Child Support Agency (CSA) by filing a complaint and providing supporting evidence of the non-payment. The CSA can investigate the case, calculate the amount owed, and take enforcement measures against the non-paying parent. These actions may include garnishing wages, seizing tax refunds, or placing liens on property. Additionally, seeking legal advice or mediation services can help guide you through this process. Remember that the CSA is there to support you and your child, ensuring that child support payments are met appropriately.
