• "I've been ordered to pay an amount of child and/or spousal support that I can't afford. What are my options?"
  
  Divorce attorney Stacy Phillips answers: "If the court has ordered that you pay a specific amount, you will have to pay it unless and until your ex agrees to a different amount or the court orders a different amount after you file the appropriate request.

Perhaps your attorney knows of such programs available in your neighborhood..."


• "What if my spouse doesn't pay child support he or she has been ordered to pay?"
  
  Robert Brandt, a Certified Family Law Specialist answers: "Child support orders come into effect through either settlement, which includes a stipulated order, or a contested hearing and/or trial in which the court enters an order after hearing the evidence. It’s most unfortunate if the payer doesn’t make the required payments, after the parties have incurred time, inconvenience, and in many cases, escalating fees to bring about the order. You may wish to consider some of the following remedies:
  
  
  1. Earnings Assignment Order for Support
  You should consider using this device right after the court makes the order for support. It requires the employer to deduct child support and pay it directly to the supported parent..."
