My ex-husband owes quite a bit of back-child support. The 'system' won't do much of anything about it because he's still paying on a regular basis. My kids could really use the arrearage amount, especially since my son starts school this year. I need an affordable attorney to take him back to court for contempt on child support. Can anyone recommend a good one in Hendricks County?
I don't have any names, but I would suggest suing for the attorney fees and court costs as well, you shouldn't have to pay to get him to pay up. I know you might need it now, but sometimes it's better to do it in the spring because they can take his tax refund.
Good Luck!
I'm pretty sure what he pays in child support is based on both yours and his income, so is the back support. I've been through a lot with custody, attorneys and court over my 16 year old daughter. I've used William Harrington he is in Danville and is a good attorney. But the best advice I can give you in this situations is for the two of you to agree and work together rather than argue with an attorney. It is very costly, the Hendricks county prosecutors office should be able to help you with arrearage based on both your incomes. You may be able to do a google search for a child support calculator and this will let you know what you are entitled to before you spend money on an attorney. The prosecutors office if it is like Marion County is basically free and in you favor if he is not paying. Also, remember to be the best parents you can be to your children and not to discuss this with them, it will only make them dislike you or him at a latter date in time. They should only be worring about kid stuff not adult matters. I also have 3 raised daughters from divorce, it is best to only say good about the other parent and don't point out their faults, kids don't see those at a young age but will when they get older.

I have some more I gave information to my friend and I trying to find the list...I will email you when I FIND IT
Call the child support office and see what they say. If he's currently paying and consistently paying, they don't see it as contempt. He would be in contempt if he didn't pay at all. They may be able to tack on an extra five or ten dollars a week. I know the CS office can file to take his tax check or any kind of settlement check he could receive. As far as attorneys, my husband uses Scott Quick. He is partners with William Harrington. They also have a woman attorney if you prefer a female. Her name is Betty. All three are excellent and get the job done.
