The Maryland Thurgood Marshall State Law Library, a court-related agency of &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Maryland Judiciary, sponsors this site. There are many other factors which &lt;/del&gt;the court &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;can consider in determining child suppor&lt;/del&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;In extreme cases, you could face criminal contempt charges leading &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;jail time. Child &lt;/del&gt;support &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;arrears don’t disappear through bankruptcy&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;and they follow you for decades&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Regardless &lt;/del&gt;of &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;your employment status&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;you remain legally obligated &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;pay until a judge modifies your order. The most critical mistake unemployed parents make is simply stopping &lt;/del&gt;child support &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;payments without obtaining &lt;/del&gt;court &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;approval. The key is proving &lt;/del&gt;that your &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;unemployment is involuntary and that you’re making good-faith efforts &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;remedy the situation. Filing for child child support compliance and penalties support modification involves several steps&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;and &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;process can take several months.&lt;/del&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Use of Child Support Guidelines &lt;/del&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;A temporary job loss might not be enough to convince a judge to modify your &lt;/del&gt;child support &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;obligation&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Courts require you &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;prove that your financial situation has changed substantially and involuntarily&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Modifying &lt;/del&gt;child support &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;after job loss means a judge must approve your request&lt;/del&gt;.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Immediate Steps to Take After Job Loss &lt;/del&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;If &lt;/del&gt;you &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;are unable &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;keep up with child support payments after &lt;/del&gt;a &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;job loss &lt;/del&gt;or &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;income change&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Hartin Family Law is here &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;help&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;What &lt;/del&gt;are &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;the most common reasons courts review child support changes? If &lt;/del&gt;you &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;lose your job &lt;/del&gt;and &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;become unemployed, you must still pay until a court order is change&lt;/del&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;I’ll be writing more on the topic in the future&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;delving deeper into more of the philosophical&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;psychological, socio&lt;/del&gt;-&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;political&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;governmental&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;sociological, marital&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;familial, sexist, favoritist &lt;/del&gt;and &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;other flaws in the system&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;I could go on, but I think you get the most gaping technical and operational flaws in the &lt;/del&gt;child support &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;enforcement system, for now. And if your government is holding it, &lt;/del&gt;and &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;not paying your child, what are THEY doing with it? All I know is, in America, when &lt;/del&gt;you &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;hold onto money&lt;/del&gt;, you &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;have flexibility and options. My spouse and I had a joint bank account through which we &lt;/del&gt;could &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;electronically transfer money &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;one another instantaneously&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&amp;quot; In subsequent months&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;by wisely offering three $400 checks&lt;/del&gt;, the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;money was delivered to my spouse in only about a week!&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;States may have different timelines for when &lt;/del&gt;child support &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;is late enough to warrant action from the courts. Just because a judge &lt;/del&gt;issues &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;a court order for a non-custodial parent to pay child support&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;that doesn’t mean &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;parent will always actually pay or pay on time&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;So, if a North Carolina custodial parent needed &lt;/del&gt;to &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;collect back support from a parent living &lt;/del&gt;in &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;California, California’s statute &lt;/del&gt;of &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;limitations (or lack thereof) would apply since it &lt;/del&gt;is &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;longer than North Carolina’s. In other states&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;such as New Jersey &lt;/del&gt;and &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Arkansas, back-collection for child support is barred five &lt;/del&gt;(&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;5&lt;/del&gt;) &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;years after the child in question reaches the legal age &lt;/del&gt;of &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;majority (which, again, varies by state but is usually between &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;ages &lt;/del&gt;of &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;18 &lt;/del&gt;and &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;21). The county DCSS can also sue to collect &lt;/del&gt;the &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;arrears&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;particularly if the custodial parent &lt;/del&gt;and &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;child had to receive public assistance during the periods of unpaid support.&lt;/del&gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Because, frankly, our lives&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;our children’s lives&lt;/del&gt;, and &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;even our spouses’ lives DO depend on it. A complete catastrophe for fathers who love and support their children. Now, I’m not the brightest person on the planet…but, it seems like this gross inefficiency alone would be cause enough for any reasonable divorcee to put differences and mistrust aside for the sake &lt;/del&gt;of &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;the children&lt;/del&gt;. &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;I walked to the enforcement agency with &lt;/del&gt;a &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;$1,500 check in&lt;/del&gt;-&lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;hand one time, thinking I was being an excellent, dutiful, stand&lt;/del&gt;-up &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;father by over-paying my child support obligation&lt;/del&gt;, &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;but my son failed to see that money for close to half &lt;/del&gt;a &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;month!
