He stopped paying child support and there's an order

CAowed_six_months1 month ago

Six months behind. He keeps saying his hours got cut. I have receipts of him on vacation. How do I get this enforced without spending more on a lawyer?

Open a case with your state's child support agency. It's free. They can enforce wage garnishment without you paying lawyer fees. Took us 6 weeks to start seeing payments.
