Frequently Asked Questions

A Notice of Past Due Child Support is a formal communication sent to a parent reminding them of their obligation to make child support payments that are overdue. It serves both as a reminder and a record of your attempts to collect the owed payments.

The packet includes four different notices, each varying in tone from informal to formal. This allows you to select the most appropriate notice based on your relationship with the other parent and the severity of the situation.

This specific notice is designed for use in Delaware and may not comply with the legal requirements of other states. It's important to consult local laws or seek legal advice if you are outside of Delaware.

If the other parent fails to respond or make the payment after receiving the notice, you may need to consider further legal action. This could involve seeking enforcement through the court system or consulting with a family law attorney.

While the notices provided in the packet are formatted for clarity and effectiveness, you should ensure that any communication you send is clear, polite, and includes all necessary details such as the amount due and payment deadlines.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have not received their expected child support payments can utilize this notice to formally remind the other parent of their obligations. This serves to document the communication and may be necessary for future legal proceedings if the situation escalates.
  • Situations requiring a formal reminder of child support obligations can arise when payments are consistently late or missing. In such cases, using a notice can help establish a timeline of non-compliance and demonstrate efforts to resolve the issue amicably before taking further legal action.
  • For those who wish to escalate their communication regarding overdue payments, a more adversarial notice may be appropriate. This can signal to the other parent that you are serious about enforcing the child support agreement and may prompt them to fulfill their obligations to avoid legal consequences.
  • Parents who are considering legal action due to non-payment of child support may find these notices useful in building a case. By documenting each attempt to collect overdue payments, they can provide evidence of their efforts to the court.
  • In circumstances where a parent is unsure how to approach a sensitive topic like overdue child support, these notices offer a structured way to communicate. They provide options ranging from gentle reminders to more formal requests, allowing the sender to choose the best approach for their situation.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate if the child support payments are being made consistently, as it may create unnecessary tension between parents. Communication should remain positive and constructive in such cases.
  • โ€“ If there is an ongoing legal dispute regarding child support that is currently being handled by the court, using this notice may complicate matters. It's best to allow the court to address any issues related to payments during the legal proceedings.
  • โ€“ In situations where the other parent is experiencing financial hardship and has communicated this to you, sending a notice may be perceived as insensitive. Open dialogue may be more beneficial in such circumstances.
  • โ€“ If you have already established a payment plan or agreement with the other parent regarding overdue payments, this notice may not be necessary. It's important to respect any existing arrangements before escalating the situation.
  • โ€“ This notice should not be used in cases where there is a history of domestic violence or abuse. In such situations, it is crucial to prioritize safety and seek legal assistance rather than sending a notice.
