An ex-spouse owes close to $20,000.00 in arrears. Per Child Support Services, they can only collect arrears by way of garnishing his wages and requesting that the Judge order a small amount above the regular support to be collected as arrears. In my case that comes out to $50.00 per month. This means this would take almost 16 years to collect. Can I request that a family court judge issue an award to me for the $20,000.00 that I can then take and have converted to a civil matter so I can go after his other assests myself? If not, how else can I collect the amount owed to me without having to wait 16 years?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
