If child support or alimony payments are not being made by the responsible party as ordered, why has he/she not been brought before the Court?

There could be various reasons:

  • Is he/she out of state?
  • Have you contacted the Family Court to see if the responsible party not making the payments has an updated address? Numerous attempts of service are made, but the party may be unable to be located at the address given.
  • If the party was placed on wage withholding, it’s possible he/she is no longer working at the same job.
