I was awarded child support in 2015 and I’ve never received a payment.

Q) I was awarded child support in 2015 and I’ve never received a payment. Back pay owed to me is over $20,000

A) I’m sorry to hear that you have not received any child support payments despite being awarded child support in 2015. If you have not received any payments, you should take steps to try to enforce the child support order.

The first step would be to contact your state’s child support enforcement agency. They can help you enforce the order and collect the back payments owed to you. They have the authority to garnish wages, intercept tax refunds, and take other actions to enforce child support orders.

You may also want to consider hiring a private attorney to help you with this process. An attorney can help you navigate the legal system and make sure that your rights are protected.

In addition to contacting the child support enforcement agency and/or hiring an attorney, you should keep records of all communication with your ex-partner and any payments that you do receive. This will help you keep track of what has been paid and what is still owed.

There are a few other things that you can do to try to get the back child support that you are owed. Remember you can contact the child support enforcement agency in your state. The child support enforcement agency is responsible for collecting child support payments. They may be able to help you get the payments that you are owed.

Again you can file a motion with the court to have the other parent held in contempt of court. If the court finds that the other parent has willfully failed to pay child support, they may order the other parent to pay fines or even jail time.

You can also hire a lawyer to help you collect the back child support that you are owed. A lawyer can help you file the necessary paperwork and represent you in court.

Remember that child support payments are meant to provide financial support for your child. By taking steps to enforce the child support order, you are helping to ensure that your child’s needs are being met.
