To understand what action can be taken in your defense, consult with an experienced Tampa child support attorney as soon as possible. Family Law Attorney Nilo J. Sanchez can represent you in Hillsborough, Pasco or Pinellas County, FL.

Keep in mind that in contempt cases, the court must find that the parent was able to pay but refused to do so. In cases where the Florida Department of Revenue are representing the "obligee"
such as in Title IV-D cases, there are numerous measures that they can take if all other measures have been exhausted to collect and enforce child support:

  • Intercept/Seize Assets
  • Driver/Hunting/Fishing License Suspension
  • Vehicle and Vessel Registration Suspension
  • Passport Denial
  • Property Liens against houses, mobile homes, land, cars, watercraft and other items of value
  • When a noncustodial parent fails to pay support, the court may issue an arrest warrant. The warrant is put on the statewide crime computer, which all Florida law enforcement agencies use.
  • An officer can arrest the noncustodial parent at home, at work or even during a routine traffic stop
  • Consumer Reporting: Past-due support entered on a credit report can affect the ability to obtain credit cards, mortgages and loans.
  • Federal Prosecution: Selected out-of-state cases may be referred to a federal court for criminal prosecution. Noncustodial or “obligor” can be convicted of a felony or misdemeanor.

A permanent and substantial change in time sharing, changes in income and other changes may be considered by the courts when determining modification.
