What Happens When a Parent Doesn’t Pay Child Support In South Jersey?
Compliance with child support order is not optional —it’s a court-ordered obligation. If the other parent is paying late, paying less than ordered, or not paying at all, you have legal options to enforce the order and protect your children’s financial security.
New Jersey courts take child support violations seriously. Enforcement remedies can include:
- Wage garnishment
- Seizure of tax refunds
- Suspension of driver’s license, professional licenses, or business licenses
- Seizure of property
- Contempt of court findings
- Fines
- Jail time
The appropriate remedy depends on the circumstances, including the amount owed and the paying parent’s history of non-compliance.
