Where I live, the creditor (you) can apply to have your maintenance or child support Order ENFORCED by a state/provincial agency. That means that the agency will require all support payments be sent through the agency before they send them on to you. But there are huge advantages to this. The agency also uses its resources to fight for you by enforcing the court's original Order ... it uses state-appointed lawyers, bailiffs, etc. to get your money. It may take a while, but you will be sure to get experienced help. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

It's the enrollment of a judgment for back due amounts that counts as far as hurting his credit. When it comes to back due child support or alimony owed to you, you are the creditor. So you have to go through all the steps just like any other creditor to get it on the person's credit, it does not happen automatically. You need to speak with an attorney in Nebraska who is familiar with these matters. It's a catch-22 situation for anyone in your shoes: he needs to go to jail, but he can't pay you in jail. Sometimes, just a short stay to wake them up is in order! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

If he fails to do so then he can be brought up on criminal charges and based on the amount owed could be severe (felony). I would contact your state Division of Family services and see what they can do to advise you on your rights. If they are unable to provide you with the proper assistance then contact an attorney and look in to your options. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

2008-10-08 18:44:16 +0000	Well, file again with the Attorney General. Are your kids on any kind of welfare or government assistance? If so, they usually enforce the child support for you. One new thing they do for the deadbeat dads is suspend their driver license! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
