Minnesota child support lawyer Allison Maxim suggests ways of dealing with the situation when you don’t get child support from your former spouse.

The most important thing you can do is fill out a form. There’s a state form at the Department of Human Services website where you fill that out and you submit it to your county Child Support and Collections Office and they can collect it for you. If your spouse or ex-spouse is a W-2 employee, the county will collect it for you and garnish their wages and you’ll get your payments on a monthly basis. Otherwise, if for example you have a self-employed spouse who isn’t paying, then you have to rely on using motions for contempt or a motion for a judgment against the other parent.
