If the non-custodial parent refuses to pay child support to the custodial parent, the New Jersey Child Support Agency’s County Probation Division can enforce the court order by one of the following means:
Requiring the non-custodial parent’s employer to deduct money from his or her pay
Taking the past-due amount from a tax refund or other lump sum of money
Seizing assets and property such as bank accounts, cars, real estate, etc.
Issuing a warrant
Returning the case to court to discuss the agreement
Reporting the payment delinquency to a credit reporting agency
The law is on the custodial parent’s side when he or she is owed child support payments, and the New Jersey Child Support Agency has a variety of enforcement tools available. When a custodial parent reports payment issues to the Child Support Agency right away, he or she can obtain the necessary assistance to enforce the court order.
