Support Enforcement Lawyer in Oceanside – Joseph Battle Carnohan
If you are owed back child support, there are numerous steps that Oceanside Support Enforcement Attorney Joseph Carnohan can take to help you collect the monies which are owed to you. If the exact amount of money in question is disputed, Mr. Carnohan will file a Judicial Determination of Arrearages on your behalf.
A court will then review all payments received, and enter an order that sets forth how much money your former spouse or partner owes you. This amount will include statutory interest of 10%, which begins to accrue dating back to the time the first whole payment is missed. If you have only been receiving partial payments, it will date back to when the first whole payment was skipped.
Additional forms of Support Enforcement may include the following:
- Filing a Support Lien against the Obligor’s Real Property
- Garnishing the Obligor’s Wages (maximum of 25%)
- Filing a Levy against the Obligor’s Bank Accounts
