Pro Se Resources for Child Support Enforcement

    The following is merely a guide to pro se resources, online enforcement forms, and instructions from state courts. Please be aware that the information found here may not be (and probably is not) all you will require to file a contempt motion or a Motion to Enforce. You must give the other party proper notice, there are some courts that require affidavits with the filing of the motion, and you must prove to the court that the defendant was served.

    It is often the case that copies must also be provided to the judge assigned to your case prior to any hearing. These copies are typically known as "working papers," "courtesy copies," or "judge's copies". Be sure you have ALL the materials required before filing anything. Information as to court procedure can be accessed at your local courthouse. Each court is different and procedure does vary, so it is up to you to ascertain your filing requirements.

    Be sure to check your local court for a Family Law Facilitator, or a Court Facilitator, who can assist you in form preparation and filing. Like judges and court clerks, facilitators cannot advise you as to matters of law, but the facilitator can clarify things for you and can be a valuable resource.
