Kentucky Child Support Violations Attorney
If you have been charged with a violation in your child support agreement, you need representation from a qualified criminal defense attorney. Violating the terms of your child support is a CRIMINAL offense. The government has attorneys working hard on its side. This is why it is important that you have someone fighting for you. There are many child support violations but the most common among them are alleged fraud and non-payment.
Alleged fraud is a serious violation and can bring harsh penalties. Here are a few reasons, one can be charged with alleged fraud:
- Not forwarding Child Support Payments to Division of Child Support (DCS)
- Falsely reporting income
- Hiding income/ property to avoid payment
- Making a false statement
Non-payment arises when the accused has refused to pay the court decided amount. This offense can carry serious penalties. Even though the child support order is a financial judgment, continued failure to make payments can result in criminal charges. In this case, you may be charged with contempt of court and ordered to pay the assigned child support and the remaining back payments.
This is a serious issue that requires a criminal defense attorney that knows the law. Please call or e-mail Law Offices of Jonathan Bruce today.
