In ideal circumstances, all parties involved in a divorce are able to reach amenable child support agreements outside of court, and are able to adhere to those agreements.

Unfortunately, many child support situations are less than ideal. In such cases, one of the parties must initiate a child support lawsuit, seeking the assistance of legal agencies to determine and enforce child support amounts. Even then, non-custodial parents ordered to pay child support may choose to ignore the rulings of the court.

In these cases, custodial parents should retain the services of an experienced lawyer familiar with Tallahassee child support laws to compel their former partner to comply with their legal obligations. Suzanne Brownless, PA is an experienced child support attorney in Tallahassee and the surrounding regions. She stands ready to protect the rights of custodial parents and their children.

Enforcement actions are the unfortunate steps that are often necessary to compel a non-custodial parent to pay the support amounts ordered by a court or administrative agency. It is usually critical to monitor payments and to initiate the appropriate enforcement remedy.

Some enforcement methods are only available to the child support enforcement agencies. However, other remedies are made available to child support tribunals, private attorneys, and collection agencies. Some of these methods necessitate court action, but others are more administrative in nature, and require little or no court action.

The proper methods of enforcing child support laws in Tallahassee are often specific to the case at hand. The facts of the case, coupled with the applicable federal and state mandates, dictate how to enforce support law.
