Legal overview
Start with an enforceable judgment and open an enforcement file with the competent court. Calculate the arrears against the wording and effective date of the judgment, and account for all documented payments.
Practical steps
The enforcement judge can consider attachment through the employer within statutory limits and priorities. Criminal proceedings for failure to pay are a separate route with their own requirements.
Official sources
General legal information. Individual cases require review of the documents and applicable law.
