Why you need Manassas child support lawyers

Child support laws provide financial support for children when a couple separates or divorces. Yet obtaining child support can sometimes be frustrating. But with a knowledgeable team of Prince Williams County child support lawyers, you can obtain the compensation you need to take care of your children.

If a spouse does not make a child support payment, the court can enforce the law in the following ways:

• Taxes: If a spouse misses or is behind on child support payments, all federal and state income tax refunds or credits will be intercepted and applied to any past due child maintenance or support.
• Liens: The court may also issue liens on real estate or other personal property until the non-custodial parent makes the child support payments.
• Credit agency: Yet another way the state of Virginia enforces child support is to report the non-custodial parent to a credit agency.
• Assets: If the non-custodial parent fails to make child support payments, assets such as CDs, stocks, bonds, retirement funds, or savings accounts are garnished or confiscated.
• Licenses: In some cases, the court may suspend the driver or occupation license of the non-custodial parent.
• Contempt: A non-custodial spouse can be sentenced for up to one year in jail for contempt of court if he or she refuses to pay child support.

If you are having trouble obtaining payment for child support from a spouse, you are not alone. Our skilled team of Manassas divorce lawyers can stand by your side and help you obtain the funds you need.
