Pembroke Pines Child Support Enforcement Attorney
Children have a right to be financially supported by both parents. When an ex-spouse or parent fails to follow child support orders or agreements, it can significantly impair the other parent's ability to provide for the basic needs of the child. Parents may seek court assistance in enforcing child support orders and collecting overdue child support.
At the Law Offices of Jerome P. Ventura, P.A., we assist South Florida parents with bringing and defending against child support enforcement actions. Contact our family law firm to arrange a free initial consultation with an experienced and dedicated family law attorney. Call 954-438-2828.
Broward County, Florida, Attorney — Collect Unpaid Child Support
From our office in Pembroke Pines, child support enforcement lawyer Jerome Ventura provides honest, informative and experienced advice regarding the collection of unpaid child support. He assists clients in filing and responding to petitions for court assistance in child support enforcement.
A child support enforcement case could result in recovery efforts which include:
- Driver's license suspension
- Attachment to IRS tax refunds
- Wage garnishment, including garnishing unemployment payments
- Personal property liens
- Bank levies
- Other means to collect child support
Additionally, if the court finds that the parent knowingly and willfully disregarded child support orders, when the parent had the means to pay support, the court may hold the parent in contempt — which could result in even more serious consequences.
With over 25 years of legal experience, and a comprehensive understanding of Florida child support laws, attorney Jerome Ventura has had significant success in enforcing orders through the Florida court system, and in defending against enforcement cases on behalf of South Florida parents.
When a parent's failure to pay child support is the result of the parent's inability to pay — either due to job loss or other financial change in circumstance — our attorney is experienced in helping clients modify a child support order to reflect current circumstances.
