What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado
There's an amendment called the Bradley amendment that states there are no statue of limitations when it comes to child support in arrears. The law doesn't care the reason why you didn't pay support if your in arrears you will pay what you owe
My question is do I need to hire an attorney to get my dad to pay court ordered child support. He was already held in contempt for non child support once when he and my mom first divorced but his mom came up to my mom and begged her not to press charges and she gave her her word he would pay if she dropped the charges
Instead my mom made a stipulation that stated as long as my dad keeps up with his child support the charges will be dropped. When they were walking out of the court house my dad threatened my mom and told her she was going to regret divorcing him and he never made a child support payments even though he could more than afford it.
The Bradley amendment is pretty cut and dry it states if your in arrears you must pay and it takes away the states statute of limitations. This law was written for people like my dad. He could more than afford to pay child support but just refused to. My mom had called him and all but begged him to do as the court ordered and once again he threatened my mom to the point that she was afraid to take any action against him. Whenever she card him after that either him or his new wife would hang up on her. In the mean time their shutting of our electricity because my mom couldn't afford to pay it. At one point the electricity was turned off for 9 days so there were 3 little kids huddled against their mother at night because they were frightened and didn't quite understand why we didn't have electricity . My dad was aware of the fact we didn't have electricity and refused to help my mom pay for it
I want to nail his ass to the wall so bad it's not funny. I want to show his wife and their kids that I'm not my mom and they can't intimidate me and he will either pay what he owes or I will freeze and attach all of his assets and they'll find out what it's like to have their electricity turned off
