Frequently Asked Questions
We know family law can feel overwhelming—and sometimes, just getting clear answers makes all the difference. Below you’ll find thoughtful responses to the questions we hear most often, designed to help you feel informed, prepared, and empowered as you move forward.
What are my options if my ex-spouse doesn’t pay child support in Charlotte, NC?
If your ex is falling behind on child support payments in Charlotte, NC, it’s crucial to act—because your child’s needs don’t pause. You can seek enforcement through the North Carolina Child Support Enforcement (CSE) office or through the courts.
CSE can help with wage garnishment, intercepting tax refunds, revoking driver's licenses, and more. If you go through the court, you can file a motion for contempt. The court will review the case and, if your ex is willfully not paying, can issue sanctions, including jail time.
It’s important to remember: child support is a right that belongs to your child—not just an agreement between parents. And there are powerful tools to make sure your child gets what they’re owed.
