Getting a Money Judgement For Child Support

June 12, 2009 - PRLog -- If the custodial parent keeps accurate records of the amount owed, the courts can issue a money judgement. A judgement is very important because without it, there could be a problem collecting support. It’s good for 20 years, and even if the parent doesn't have any money when it is issued, it can still be enforced if he or she has money in the future.

Court orders the past due child support to be entered as a judgment (an official decision), which will allow interest to accrue to the amount. The money judgment may be filed in the county clerk's office. This creates a lien on all the non-custodial parent's real property located in that county.

The money judgment is mandatory if the court establishes that there is past due child support (arrears).
