Non-Payment of Child SupportAs a
result of
The Child Support Recovery Act (CSRA) of
1992
followed by The
Deadbeat Parents Punishment Act (DDPA)
of 1998,
collecting child support and back
payments has gotten easier,
even if the non-paying parent does not
reside in the same state as the child.
As a result of tighter guidelines,
non-paying parents can now face a
variety of actions against them,
including the following:
·
Seizure of bank accounts
·
Wages garnished
·
Drivers licenses and professional
licenses suspended
·
Property liens
·
Federal and state tax refunds held
·
Denial of state loans and grants
·
Interest added to money owed
·
Refer you to collection agencies
·
Monetary penalties
·
Order your picture posted
·
Jail time, often followed by probation
