Breach of Court Order

It is not uncommon to find that a parent fails to pay maintenance irrespective of the court order that was granted. When this happens, the following must be done:

A formal complaint must be laid at your closest maintenance office
The maintenance office will hold a record of a series of payments that’s been made previously and this record will automatically reflect a lapse payment as well.
If the parent happens to be employed and still refuse to pay maintenance, the court may enforce an order to get the maintenance from the work directly.
When a court order is in place and the other party refuses to pay regardless, the court will call them in. On this day, the court will hear them out as to why they have disobeyed the maintenance order and it will be expected for the other parent to pay all maintenance owed. Failure to comply with the maintenance order means that they will go to jail.
