Firstly, you must have a court order for child support. If you and the non-custodial parent have a verbal agreement, you will need to take the necessary steps to obtain an agreement in writing and have it approved by the court. Once a court order is in place, a judge can enforce child support by the following methods:
- Hold the non-paying parent in contempt of court
- Fine the delinquent parent up to $1,000 or sentence them to 5 days in jail
- Sentence the non-paying parent to community service
- Order the delinquent parent to pay the custodial parents attorney fees
