My ex-husband is not paying child support; what should I do?

If, at the time of the divorce, your husband agreed to pay child support every month in accordance with the court judgment but does not pay it, there are several ways to receive the child support.

First, where the child support is not paid, you can apply to the Family Court for an order of direct payment of child support.

Second, to guarantee the payment of child support, you can apply for an order to provide security.

If the other party does not provide the security within the set period, you can apply for an order of lump-sum payment of child support and receive the child support as a lump sum.

In addition, there are also ways to receive child support by applying for an order to comply or through compulsory execution.

An order to comply is a procedure in which the Family Court orders the payment of child support in accordance with a judgment or ruling.

If the other party fails to comply, they become subject to sanctions such as an administrative fine or confinement.

If they fail to comply with this, you can also, through compulsory execution, apply for an auction against the other party's property to cover the child support.

Although you can receive child support through methods such as these, because each procedure can take a considerable amount of time, it is important to proceed with the legal procedures promptly.
