The suspension is lifted when the parent begins to make payments or enters into an agreement to do so. Virginia has begun booting the automobiles of deadbeat parents. Cars of deadbeat parents are immobilized by baby blue and pink boots. A sticker is also placed on the windshield of the car stating that the car has been seized by the sheriff for unpaid child support. Apparently, this has been a very successful method of collection.
Laws regarding the collection of past due child support vary from state to state.
Given the amount of money at stake, you should contact a qualified family law lawyer in your local area for help. My ex-husband was ordered to pay child support for our daughter in our divorce about fifteen years ago, but never paid. We went to court and received judgments, but were never able to locate him. We hadn t seen or heard from him since right after the divorce. First, the state in which your divorce decree was issued may have a statute barring your claim.
