Child support obligations can quickly become unmanageable. Before you know it, you may have accrued a substantial sum of money in child support arrears, and it will begin to affect other areas of your life.
Are you having difficulties making your child support payments? Do not wait and hope the problem will go away on its own. Please contact our compassionate and assertive fathers' rights attorney at the Law Offices of Elena Mebtahi immediately to discuss the civil consequences of nonpayment of child support.
Fathers' Rights Lawyer in Los Angeles, California
Our fathers' rights lawyer Elena Mebtahi can help to avoid or lessen the consequences of nonpayment of child support, which include:
- Suspension of your driver's license
- Professional license suspension
- Levies on your bank accounts
- Holds on passport renewal
- Garnishment of wages up to 50 percent
Attorney Mebtahi will help you get your life back on track. She will arrange a lower garnishment of 20 to 25 percent and organize your payment schedule for child support in arrears through negotiation of a repayment plan so that you will be able to live a comfortable life. Once you are on a repayment plan, your bank account cannot be levied unless there is more than $3,500 in it. Your professional or driver's license is also safe from suspension.
Failure to pay child support may go unpunished for awhile if you have lost or changed jobs. But the child support will not stop accruing. If you have lost your job, it is important that you work with Ms. Mebtahi to get a modification of your child support arrangement right away because every month that you delay you lose the money that you have a current obligation to pay.
Ms. Mebtahi can also assist with modification of spousal support payments.
