Child Support Judgment Enforcement
There is no statute of limitation on support judgments now. Rather support judgments are enforceable until paid in full or otherwise satisfied under Family Law Code Section 291(a) and may be enforced without regards to renewal.
In accounting for payments made for support judgments, the payments must be applied against the current installment due first, then against any unpaid accrued interest on arrearage, then on the unpaid arrearage itself.
All methods of enforcing a regular money judgment are available to enforcing a support judgment except that the family court is more likely to use its contempt powers to ensure enforcement.
If you have a child support judgment or any judgment obtained from a divorce proceeding, its best to contact a collection attorney to help you collect your money. Collection attorneys have a greater skill and knowledge in this area and can use it to your advantage.
