Question

My Exhusband is not paying child support and has claimed he filed bankruptcy back in 2011. He and his wife just bought their 2nd luxary car and take vacations about 3-4 times a year. I want to file comtempt and a judgement for arrearages. Is this possible?



Answer

You can take that approach but the best approach would be to return to court on a request for order to enforce payment of those support amount as well as seek attorneys fees and court costs.



Answer

You don't actually say if there is a current order for payments that he is ignoring. Unless there is an order that he is not paying, you cannot get anything for contempt or arrearages. In any case, you are going to need to talk to a local lawyer to sort out what your options are.



Answer

I agree with Mr. McCormick. I would also add that orders to pay child support are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
