Why am I having a hard time getting child support?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:First you need to get a court for child support. I believe this is issued in the state you and the child live. My sister-in-law is a clerk in the family court, and she says once you have the court order, you do not need to do anything yourself to get it enforced. You contact the district Atty in your area, and they do the rest. To get a court order for child support, contact your child protective services or the family court where you and the children live. You have to be very persistent and keep asking them what you need to do to get the job done.
