How do you get the father to pay child support if he does not have a job?

If the father of your child is not paying child support, you may be wondering what to do. If he does not have a job and is not making any effort to get one, you have some options. The first thing to do is make sure you've exhausted all of his resources that are available to you. He may owe other debts and that money could be used to pay child support. He may also have assets that you can use to collect the child support that he owes. Most states will grant a wage garnishment order, which requires an employer to take a certain amount of money out of the father's paycheck each month and send it directly to you. The wage garnishment amount varies by state but typically ranges from 25% to 50% of his earnings. You should file a motion with the court requesting a wage garnishment order. You will need to provide proof that the father has been employed for at least three months in the last year and has no other assets or income available to him before you can get this order granted by the judge. Once the wage garnishment order is in place, you must continually monitor the progress of your case so that if the father obtains other employment or finds new income sources, you can update your motion with these new developments.

If you have been married and have a child, then you know how important it is to have your partner pay child support. It is crucial for you to make sure that he pays what he owes and the way to do this is by checking into the laws in your state. If you are in Utah, call the lawyers below for a free consultation.
