Many fathers push for that 90 day mark just so that they’ll be able to take advantage of the reduction in child support. In Virginia, once you hit that 90 day mark, child support is based on a sliding scale — so, the more time he has with the children, the less he’ll pay in suppor&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;What Can I Do If I Can’t Make My Child Support Payments? &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The penalties for ignoring child support payments will depend on the specific details of each case.

At Smolka Law Group in Palatine, Illinois, our attorneys have experience helping clients address issues of child custody and child support after divorce. Courts take this responsibility very seriously and will typically give high priority to issues concerning missed child support payments. If the arrears remain unresolved, the courts may initiate a contempt action against the delinquent parent, which could lead to further penalties, including incarceratio&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The legal system provides multiple ways to enforce child support payments and ensure that children receive the financial support they need.
