Q) I would like to enforce for past due child support. What do I need to do in order to file a complain. Please let me know the steps that I need to follow.

A) To enforce past due child support, you may need to take legal action. The process can vary depending on your location and the specifics of your situation, but generally the following steps can be taken:

1. Locate the non-custodial parent: You will need to know the whereabouts of the non-custodial parent in order to take action against them.
2. Contact your local child support agency: In most states, the child support agency can assist you in enforcing past due child support. They can use various enforcement tools such as wage garnishment, seizure of tax refunds, suspension of licenses, etc.
3. File a Complaint in court: If your local child support agency is unable to assist you or if you prefer to handle the enforcement yourself, you can file a complaint in court.
4. Serve the complaint: Once the complaint is filed, you must serve the non-custodial parent with the complaint and other court papers.
5. Attend a court hearing: You and the non-custodial parent will be required to attend a court hearing. The judge will review the case and issue an order for the non-custodial parent to pay the past due child support.

It’s important to note that the process of enforcing past due child support can be complex, so it may be helpful to seek the assistance of a lawyer or legal representative.
