Quality Attention to Your Unique Child Support Problems
In some cases, parents habitually refuse to obey the law and fulfill their obligations. Pennsylvania has strict laws with severe punishments for these offenders. Any amounts owed in back payments of child support are known as "arrearages." The parent who does not pay them can face punishments such as jail time, driving license and passport suspension, bank account seizure, reporting of failure to pay to credit agencies and seizures of incomes and properties.
When the delinquent parent refuses to pay current child support, an enforcement application can be filed with a court. Pennsylvania child support laws allow for punishments once a child support enforcement application is filed.
If you are a parent who wants to pay child support after not having paid for some time, you do have options. We are happy to explain them during your initial consultation. In some cases, a failure to pay child support can be made up once the child is of a certain age. With child support modifications to your original agreement, payments may even be decreased or put in the proper proportion.
