What is the name of your state? Florida
We are going to court because the father has refused to make payments, this is not the first time. He has a job, they don't withhold money, and he doesn't pay. Every time, the judge orders a purge amount of $1000 that day and $1000 within 30-days.. Is there a way that I can request to increase this purge amount and/or terms of the purge? Every time he only has to pay purge and then never makes ANY child support payments. It takes roughly 2-years each time to get him back in court. Can I ask the judge to extend this to say $4000 due over 6-months or he will be in contempt? This is a ridiculous cycle and it is very irritating. He owes now over $125,000 in child support and that includes interest. How is it that he continues to get a way with this and the courts do NOTHING? How can I change this?
