Frequently Asked Questions

A Notice of Past Due Child Support is a formal communication sent to remind a parent of their obligation to make child support payments that have not been received and are now overdue. It serves both as a reminder and a written record of the custodial parent's efforts to collect the owed support.

The packet contains four different notices, each varying in tone from informal to formal. This allows the sender to choose the most appropriate notice based on their relationship with the other parent and the specific circumstances.

This notice is specifically designed for use in Louisiana and adheres to the state's legal requirements regarding child support. If you reside in another state, you should seek a notice that complies with your local laws.

If the other parent fails to respond or make the overdue payments after receiving the notice, you may need to consider legal action. This could involve filing a motion with the court to enforce the child support order.

While the notices included in the packet are formatted appropriately, it is important to ensure that they are sent in a manner that can be documented, such as via certified mail. This provides proof of delivery and can be useful in future legal proceedings.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have not received their expected child support payments may use this notice to formally remind the other parent of their financial obligations. This serves not only as a reminder but also as a documented effort to resolve the issue amicably before taking further legal action.
  • Situations requiring a more formal approach to unpaid child support can benefit from the adversarial tone of one of the notices included in this packet. This can be particularly useful when previous informal reminders have failed to elicit a response or payment.
  • For those who are managing child support payments and need to maintain a clear record of communication, these notices provide a structured way to document attempts to collect overdue payments. This can be crucial in case further legal steps are necessary down the line.
  • Parents who are unsure of how to approach the topic of past due child support can utilize the varying tones of the notices to find one that fits their relationship with the other parent. This flexibility allows for a more tailored approach to communication.
  • In instances where a parent is considering legal action due to consistent non-payment of child support, sending a formal notice can serve as a prerequisite step. This demonstrates to the court that the custodial parent has made reasonable efforts to resolve the matter before escalating it legally.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate if the child support payments are current and there are no overdue amounts. Sending a notice in such cases could create unnecessary conflict between parents.
  • โ€“ If there is an ongoing legal dispute regarding child support that is being handled by the court, using this notice may complicate the situation. It is advisable to wait for court guidance in such scenarios.
  • โ€“ Parents who have already established a payment plan or agreement with the other parent should not use this notice, as it may undermine the cooperative nature of their arrangement.
  • โ€“ In situations where there is a history of domestic violence or harassment, sending a notice could escalate tensions. It is crucial to prioritize safety and consider alternative methods of communication or legal intervention.
  • โ€“ If the other parent has been declared legally incompetent or is unable to fulfill their obligations due to circumstances such as incarceration, this notice may not be suitable.
