Child support for illegal children can be difficult.

It is not uncommon for an absent parent to stop paying the child support that he or she has been ordered by the courts to pay. The reasons for non-payment vary, but the bottom line is that the parent is bound by law to continue paying the required amount each month.Your Legal RightsAs the custodial parent, you have the right to seek any child support payments that have not been paid on time. The custody payments are intended to make sure that the non-custodial parent contributes his or her fair share toward the child's welfare. It does not matter what the non-custodial parent's employment situation is or how difficult the payment may be for that parent, the law requires that the payments be made each month. If a parent stops paying child support on time, the custodial parent has the right to contact the authorities to enforce the payments.How a Lawyer Can HelpIt is easy to recommend that a custodial parent contact the authorities to begin the process of tracking down child support payments. Unfortunately, once the parent notifies the police, the legal issues can become complicated. Hiring a lawyer who has experience in child support situations will help you fight for your child support in an efficient manner that will lead to a faster renewal of support. Unless you are a legal expert, attempting to track down and force an absent parent to pay child support will take longer and be more difficult if you try to do it on your own.Consequences for the Non-Paying ParentAn attorney can help you understand the different avenues that you can pursue in order to receive child support. The absent parent could face fines, jail time, or probation if he or she does not begin making payments on time. In some cases, the state will garnish a parent's wages so that the child support payments are taken out of that person's paycheck directly. The funds could also be taken out of the non-paying parent's taxes or bank account. A non-paying parent could have his or her driver's license suspended or experience seizure of vehicles or homes that are not fully paid for. If necessary, the case can go to court.
