Child Support Enforcement Steps

Summary

In Maryland, if a parent doesnt pay child support, you can contact the Child Support Enforcement Administration, request a court hearing for violation of a child support order, or seek legal aid. If a VOP notice was issued but the individual is not in jail, it may be due to the notice not being served yet, the court awaiting a hearing, or the judge choosing not to impose jail time. You may attend the VOP hearing to express concerns about missed payments, but its not mandatory. Probation officers may not share specific details due to privacy laws. Consult a lawyer for advice.
