Avoiding Child Support Enforcement Actions
As one of northeastern Florida’s premier family law and divorce lawyers, Jacksonville attorney MaRia Rogers has developed effective strategies for answering child support Notices of Delinquency from the Florida Department of Revenue. Most pitfalls can be avoided, however, by the responsible parent if he or she adheres to the following guidelines:
- Keep all receipts or cancelled checks for child support payments that are made directly to the custodial parent.
- When payments have been ordered by a family court judge — whether it be in Duval, Saint Johns, Clay, or another Florida jurisdiction—make certain that the payments are paid out in accordance with the court order.
- Make online payments using the proper account number.
- Make payments on time.
- If you lose your job, are injured, or your income is reduced, have your child support attorney pursue a payment modification by filing a petition through the Clerk of the Court.
- Never ignore a Notice of Delinquency. Report the receipt of a late notice from Child Support Enforcement to your attorney immediately.
