One of the primary concerns for a newly-divorced mother is the dispersal of Virginia child support for the care of her children. Without the financial support of both parents, your child could suffer undue stress and experience household economic instabilities that no child should have to endure. The Division of Child Support Enforcement (DCSE) in Virginia has plenty of programs to help you collect child support and a Virginia divorce attorney can work with you to understand how these programs will affect your family.
The Virginia Child Support Enforcement Program is one of the most useful tools available to you besides your Virginia child custody attorney.
Child support payments can work in either direction, from custodial to non-custodial parent or vice versa. If you were awarded custody of your children after a divorce and are not receiving Virginia child support payments there are a variety of resources available to you.
First, it would be in your best interest to consult with an experienced Virginia divorce attorney who understands women's issues in Virginia. It is important that the Virginia divorce lawyer you choose has handled cases similar to yours and that they understand child custody law and child support in Virginia. Virginia Child Support Enforcement Program
Under the direction of the DCSE, the Virginia Child Support Enforcement Program (VCSE) helps custodial parents recover money owed them by delinquent obligors (the person obligated to pay the support for the children). The Virginia Child Support Enforcement Program:
Locates noncustodial parents (NCPs)
Establishes paternity
Enforces court orders
Collects and distributes child support
Administers the Child Support Lien Network
Besides the activities listed above, the VCSE successfully operates a multitude of programs that aid in all aspects of child support lawsuits and collection. More information about child custody and child support in Virginia can be found in our book, The Women's Custody Survival Guide. Child Support Lien Network
A lien is the right to take another person's property if they do not fulfill a legal obligation. If your ex is not paying his child support bills continuously and on time then you can file a child support lien in order to obtain payment through other avenues. For example, your lawyer can file for your ex's wages to be garnished to make up the difference in child support payments.
The Child Support Lien Network is a database that tracks delinquent child support obligors and what they owe. The VCSE enforces the use of this network in Virginia. It can intercept insurance settlements owed to your ex and seize their assets, such as bank accounts. Continue to Next Page >>
