What Happens If A Spouse Doesn’t Pay Child Support?
- If you don’t pay your child support, your spouse can file a motion for contempt against you and the court can incarcerate you.
- If you see that you cannot afford to pay your child support, you need to file a motion of modification immediately with the court that requires a $175 filing fee and the court can modify the child support based upon a substantial change of circumstances.
- It can only be modified from the date you filed your modification, it cannot be retroactively modified.
