I agree with Ms. Haas and would just add that if your employment or some other circumstance has changed over &lt;/ins&gt;the last &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;five years that is causing you &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;be unable to make &lt;/ins&gt;your &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;child support payments&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;you may be able to seek &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;modificatio&lt;/ins&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;The court can order &lt;/ins&gt;a &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;non-paying parent’s employer to deduct child support payments directly from their paycheck before the money even reaches the &lt;/ins&gt;parent&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;.

Enforcement agencies have multiple powerful tools at their disposal to make sure child support payments are made promptly.

If a &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;payment is delayed, informing the custodial &lt;/ins&gt;parent &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;in advance can go a long way toward maintaining trust.
