QUESTION: We have an order of 2008 under which my husband was ordered to pay me $209 in child support per month. He asked to stop paying in 2009 as I bought a house and he threatened to return to court to recalculate support. Now I am paying triple for the children’s health and dental benefits. I asked him to start paying again and he has refused. Can I collect what my husband has not paid as I have declared bankruptcy and that money would have helped me a great deal all of this time?
MY RESPONSE: From a Family Law perspective, you can seek to enforce Child Support arrearages. You should consult your Bankruptcy Attorney regarding whether or not those arrearages should have been dealt with in the Bankruptcy court, and whether or not you would face any consequences for not addressing them to the Bankruptcy court.
