What should I do if my ex refuses to pay child support?

If your ex-spouse refuses to pay child support, you should immediately contact the Oregon Department of Justice Child Support Program. If your ex-spouse is not current on payments, the department can help you enforce the court order or child support agreement. They can also refer you to other organizations that can help you collect the money. If the Department of Justice is not able to assist you, then you may need to contact a lawyer in Oregon. A lawyer can help you understand and file the necessary paperwork to enforce the court’s order. A lawyer can also help you file a motion with the court to hold your ex-spouse in contempt of court for failing to pay court-ordered child support. You may also contact your county’s child support office. They may be able to help you locate and/or garnish your ex-spouse’s wages. In addition, they may also be able to file liens on your ex-spouse’s property if he/she is behind on child support payments. Finally, if you have not yet done so, you should contact your county’s Department of Human Services. They may be able to help you set up a payment plan or provide other assistance in collecting your child support payments. It is important that you take action as soon as possible if you are not receiving your court-ordered or agreed-upon child support payments.
