San Diego divorce lawyer, Elizabeth Brown, explains what happens to a child support order when the paying spouse becomes unemployed. The attorney discusses the importance of the unemployed spouse going to court and seeking a modification of child support as soon as possible, as it remains his or her obligation to pay the previous support order until a subsequent one is passed. It is noted that the modified order, however, is only temporary until employment is regained and a new support order is re-issued based on current earnings within what the court deems a reasonable amount of time necessary for re-employment.

For information on the legal consequences of failing to pay child support orders and on the options available for the collection of owed support, please see our video on Child Support Arrear Laws in California.

San Diego divorce lawyers, Michele Lowenstein and Elizabeth Brown, explain how child support arrear laws work in the case of a non-paying ex-spouse. They discuss many of the options available to aid in the collection of unpaid support, including the attachment of bank accounts, the garnishing of wages, the establishment of a property lien, and the filing of a contempt of action. Additionally, they explain some of the major consequences of failing to pay and owing support, warning that it is a federal crime to live in one state while owing arrears in another, and the interest and possible imposition of additional penalties by the Court at its discretion.
