Child Support Enforcements
Backed by 100+ Years' Experience
Enforcing Back Payment Of Child Support
When a divorce agreement is finalized and one parent is ordered to pay support obligations, he or she is expected to uphold his or her part of the agreement. If you are owed child support and the payer has not paid arrearages, you can take legal action.

Our firm focuses exclusively on family law, and we are led by three attorneys who are all Certified Family Law Specialists.

What should I do if I am not receiving my child support payments?
If you are not receiving your child support payments in Newport Beach, it’s essential to take immediate action. You should first review your child support order to understand the payment schedule. If payments are overdue, you may consider reaching out to the paying parent directly to discuss the issue. However, if communication doesn't resolve the problem, it's prudent to seek legal counsel. Experienced attorneys can assist in filing for child support enforcement, which may involve legal measures such as warrants or income withholding to ensure payment. Acting promptly can help safeguard your financial needs and your child's welfare.
What factors determine the amount of child support in Newport Beach?
In Newport Beach, child support calculations are influenced by several key factors. These include the income levels of both parents, which plays a significant role in determining financial obligations. Additionally, the amount of time each parent spends with the child is pivotal. The more time a parent spends, the less support they may be required to pay. Other considerations include necessary expenses, such as mortgage payments and health care costs, which can also impact the child support amount. It’s essential to consult with a legal professional familiar with these factors to ensure that the calculations reflect your exact situation.
