My Ex isn't paying the court ordered Child support? Now what?

You went to court and the judge ordered your ex to pay child support- Great! You need the money to put food on the table and you already have maxed out your credit cards with medical bills, school supplies, etc for your little one. The 1st of the month comes and gasp - your ex never pays you.... now what do you do?

The bad news is that results wont necessarily be immediate, but the good news is that there is help. Contact your local child support agency. In Alameda County it is http://www.acgov.org/css/

The local child support agency can:

  • Establish paternity, child support and medical coverage court orders.
  • Locate the non-custodial parent and his or her assets to enforce the court order.
  • Collect and distribute child, medical, and spousal support payments.
  • Maintain accounts of payments owed and received.
  • Modify court orders when appropriate.
  • Enforce Alameda County Court orders for child, spousal and medical support

Last month we celebrated 4 years of providing sliding scale services to low income and moderate income families all over the Bay Area.

Lately we have been receiving a ton of calls from people needing assistance. Although our goal is to help as many families as possible, at this time we do not receiving grant funding or large donations and we survive solely on the fees collected from our clients for services that we provide them.

To help us expand our services, consider a tax deductible donation. We are listed with
Guidestar.org and with networkforgood.com which both permit company matches! You can also mail a check directly to All for the Family Legal Clinic, Inc 3137 Castro Valley Blvd #210, Castro Valley, CA 94546 or you can select our charity on smile.amazon.com and donate just by making your regular purchases, at no cost to you!
