Contempt

If there are parts of the court order that the other party is not following, you can ask the judge to hold the other party in contempt. You can also ask the judge to award you any unpaid money, including child support or spousal support.  Visit this section to learn how to file for contempt, and to find the forms you will need.

Collecting Child Support

Getting a child support order does not guarantee that the other parent will voluntarily pay. Parents who are having trouble collecting child support can ask the Child Support Enforcement Office for help.  Visit this section for more information.
