You have a couple of options:
BCSE has the authority to:
The type of action taken by BCSE depends on the individual circumstances of each case.
Yes. The following forms must be filled out and filed with the Circuit Clerk’s Office:
Instructions for how to fill out the forms can be found here. You will need to attach a copy of the last Court Order setting child support.
You will need to serve these forms on the other parent. Click here for more information about service of process.
Child support payments are generally made through BCSE. BCSE can give you a list of the payments already made in your case and the amount the other parent still owes. You should compare your personal records with those from BCSE. Keep in mind that BCSE records may not always be right, especially if the other parent made payments directly to you.
No. Under the law, child support and parenting time or visitation are separate. The failure of one parent to pay child support does not give the other parent the right to restrict or stop parenting time. A court order must be obeyed even if the other parent violates the order.
