Who pays attorney to enforce support

[Anonymous]

How likely will a judge in DC, MD, Va award legal fees to me?
Ex is not paying court ordered support. So I am covering all expenses. The attorney would make a negative income even more negative.
Ex has assests may not have job.

**assests provide a stream of income

Do you have support orders in all three states? Presumably not so you should narrow your question to the state to whom your question actually applies.

You could easily find this answer by googling and, in this regard, for Virginia, refer to § 16.1-278.18 which provides for attorney fees in the event arrearages are greater than three months of support.

Just file free at your county child support office. You need them to enforce it. No job, probably impossible.

PP here and it doesn't work like that so I'm not sure how you were able to do what you claim you did so I'm assuming you are somehow misunderstanding the process (unless you submitted it and the clerk just rejected the filing). One of the states has continuing exclusive jurisdiction, you need to research that and find out which state it is as that is the state that will be enforcing the current order and the jurisdiction in which you need to file the show cause motion. That will also be the state whose laws apply with respect to attorney fee awards.

This was years ago, but my ex changed jobs and had no intention of letting the court know. All I had to do was find out where his new job was. I then called the court to send a wage packet for garnishment to his new payroll. That was it.

If you cannot get the NCP to pay child support, he is unlikely to pay attorney fees even if ordered. Go through the child support office, its free.

We’ve all moved. We can stay with original court or move to current court of either parent. Ncp claims on state but actually resides in a 4th state.
State 1. State 2 State 3. State 4

You file where the child currently resides in.

Yes I can. But also there is the original court and where ncp has assets. All are possible

If he doesn't have a job, not much they can do.

He does. Just hides money under wife’s name. And changes job every two years. He also has multiple cars and homes. Can they not go after assests. ? He hasn’t paid medical. A tolled he’s into the thirty thousand mark with receipts
