Summary

If a parent in New York stops paying child support, you can contact the local child support enforcement office, request a court hearing for non-compliance, or garnish wages and seize assets.

If these steps have already been taken, consulting with a family law attorney for further guidance, such as filing a contempt of court order, is advisable.
