My children were getting child support and then it abruptly stopped.

Q) My children were getting child support and then it abruptly stopped. I never received any court documents and I didn’t receive any additional child support. They were minors at the time. Is there any recourse in this situation.

A) If child support payments for your children abruptly stopped without any court documents or notice, you may have legal recourse. Here are some steps you can take:

  1. Contact the child support agency: If you are receiving child support through a government agency, you can contact them to inquire about the reason for the sudden stop in payments.
  2. Review your court order: Review the court order for the child support arrangement to see if there are any provisions for modifying or stopping the payments.
  3. File a motion for contempt: If the non-custodial parent is in violation of a court-ordered child support arrangement, you may be able to file a motion for contempt of court. This can result in penalties for the non-compliant parent, including wage garnishments or even jail time.
  4. Seek legal assistance: If you need help navigating the legal process, consider seeking the assistance of a family law attorney who can help you understand your rights and options and advocate on your behalf.

It’s important to take action as soon as possible to ensure that your children receive the support they need. I hope this information helps you find a resolution to your situation.
