Irregular or non-payment of monthly child support
Child support after divorce is an important legal aspect that is governed by the laws of each specific state. In the event of a divorce, appropriate financial security is provided to the child by the parents in order to guarantee his proper upbringing, education and development. If the parent who is required to pay child support defaults, there are several steps that can be taken to ensure payment:
1. Written Demand: The first step is to send a written demand to the non-paying parent, calling on them to fulfill their obligation. In the request, you must specify the amount of maintenance, the method of payment and the terms in which the payments must be made.
2. Mediation: In some cases, you can turn to a mediator who can help reach an agreement between the parents regarding the payment of child support. Mediation is a process in which an independent third party tries to help the parties reach a mutual agreement.
3. Court motion: If the written request and mediation do not lead to a solution, you can file a court motion to enforce the maintenance obligation. The court will examine the evidence and may order the non-paying parent to comply or take other measures, such as a lien or other financial penalties.
4. Enforcement proceedings: If the court orders maintenance to be paid, but the parent still does not pay it, you can start enforcement proceedings. This includes the application of various enforcement measures, such as seizure or execution of property, in order to obtain the maintenance funds.
