Massachusetts Support Collection Lawyers

Practice Areas

Support enforcement can be a complex issue, and if you are like many of our clients, you have mounds of paperwork to prove it.  As a result, our support enforcement firm can offer you competent and zealous representation in the following areas:

1. Support Enforcement
2. Support Modification
3. Support Establishment
4. Complaint for Contempt
   

Support Enforcement

Child support and spousal support (alimony) are necessary payments ordered by the court that individuals rely on and deserve to receive.  When an individual fails to pay support, it can create a financial burden on the person due the support.  Our firm understands what is at stake when payments are not made.  We assist our clients in enforcing support orders and filing civil complaints for contempt when necessary.  If you need assistance with enforcement of Massachusetts payments, contact us to discuss your situation.

Support Modification

Our attorneys have extensive experience in both pursuing and defending complaints for modification for both child support and spousal support (alimony).  Court-ordered support can be modified, up or down, whenever there is a substantial change in income or financial circumstances of either party, or the needs of the children.  The standard for modification in Massachusetts is that there must be a significant change of circumstances.  When relating to financial support, the new support being sought must be at least 20 percent different from the old support.  If the difference is less, the modification may be denied.  Contact Us

Support Establishment

Our firm is bound to Massachusetts Rules of Conduct.  By law, our support collectors can only help you with the collection of your outstanding support, but the attorneys from the Massachusetts Family Law Group can represent you if you need to address custody, visitation issues or other aspects of the Parenting Plan.

Moreover, the Boston divorce lawyers from The Law Offices of Irwin M. Pollack can help you establish a child support order if you do not already have one.  Since a child support order is necessary if you are to receive regular support, once you contact us we can use the information we obtain, along with what you provide, to apply the child support guidelines and file the appropriate pleadings to get you the support you deserve.

Complaint for Contempt

Whenever one party to a support order is not in compliance, the other party may file a Complaint for Contempt in the court that issued the original support order.  The party not in compliance with the court order must come back to that court to defend the action.  Our attorneys have experience in motioning the court to use its power of enforcement by putting non-complying parties in jail until they comply. 

Contact us for experienced legal counsel and representation regarding your need to file a complaint for contempt in order to pursue your support enforcement objectives.
