Pennsylvania Child Support Lawyers

During a divorce some of the most contested and problematic elements tend to revolve around child support issues. Which parent pays for child support, how much do they pay, for how long, and how does one keep the support coming in are all vital issues that need to be worked out in family court. The unfortunate reality of child support can be that many parents end up not paying their legally entitled payments or a parent may be required to pay child support even though they shouldn’t. Regardless of your situation, if you are concerned about child support in Pennsylvania you should contact our legal office immediately.

The Law Offices of Sheryl R. Rentz, PC have years of experience handling cases of child support throughout Pennsylvania. Sheryl R. Rentz is a member of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Bar Associations as well as the Montgomery County Bar Association. We offer free and confidential consultations on any potential case regarding child support or divorce and will let you know what your rights are.

The most common situation involving child support is when one parent does not pay his or her required amount to the other parent. Pennsylvania has very strict laws that make punishments for offenders extremely severe. Any amount owed in back payments of child support are known as arrearages and the parent who does not pay them can face punishments that include jail time, driving license and passport suspension, bank account seizure, reporting of failure to pay to credit agencies, seizures of certain incomes and properties and many others. There are many ways you can collect child support and enforcing them is as simple as contacting an experienced Pennsylvania child support attorney for free advice.

When the parent owes arrearages and is still refusing to pay current child support an enforcement application can be filed with a court of law. In addition, Pennsylvania child support laws allow for the imposition of the punishments mentioned above once a child support enforcement application is filed.

If a parent wants to make amends and pay child support after not paying for some time or escaping responsibility by fleeing the state he or she does have options as well. Contact our office for a free and completely confidential consultation to learn what these options are. In some cases a failure to pay child support can be made up once the child is of a certain age. The payments can even be lessoned and any past record can be cleared.
