Maryland collects $400K child support payment
Maryland officials state that they had seized $400,000 in overdue child support payments from one parent, the largest such collection state history.
"I hope that this collection sends a clear message to non-custodial parents that Maryland is committed to collecting the support that is due to our children," said a statement from Ted Dallas, the secretary of the Department of Human Resources.
From an Orange County divorce lawyer's perspective, there are ways to get an obligor to pay his or her child support payment. Here are some of the ways:
1. Wage assignment;
2. Levy on a bank account;
3. Withholding driver's license;
4. Withholding passport.
The goal is to get the obligor to support his or her child.
With such a large collection of $400K, hopefully obligors in Maryland and throughout the United States will get the message that children need to be supported. Secondly, if someone had $400,000 on deposit in their bank account, why haven't they coughed up the money to support their child?
