I live in CA. I have a child support order filed in UT. The base amount was $403 filed 5 yrs ago. I just filed to have the case re-evaluated. However, Office of Recovery services in Utah stated they can not garnish wages for child care and medical expenses (part of order) unless there is a judgement. I have gone through Utah courts to find out how to file a judgement, but am at a loss, especially because I am out of state. Is there anything I can do from where I am? Main thing, his wages need to be garnished, because he chooses to not be involved, or fulfill his obligation. Also, can I collect on the last 5 years, or will it be from current forward? Thank you in advance!
Answer
If the order is filed in UT, you have to start in UT if the paying parent still lives there. You will have to obtain counsel from a UT lawyer. If both parents have left UT, then you should be able to get the child support case transferred here. That will still require some assistance of a UT attorney, and is probably too complex for you to even do the California part yourself.
