Child Support Enforcement: Your May 31 Action Plan

As May closes, here is a concrete action plan for custodial parents who want to start June with active enforcement in place.

Five Actions to Take This Week

1. Pull your payment ledger and calculate current arrears including interest. 2. Verify income withholding is active — call the paying parent’s employer if needed. 3. Check whether a property lien should be recorded in any county where the paying parent owns real estate. 4. If contempt grounds exist, start gathering documentation for an FL-300 motion. 5. Request a free evaluation if you’re unsure which tool fits your situation best.

Momentum matters in child support enforcement. Cases where the custodial parent is consistently active — following up monthly, updating information, using available tools — collect more consistently than cases that are filed once and forgotten. The California Child Support Recovery System is built to support that consistent effort.

The California Child Support Recovery System gives custodial parents the exact tools and templates to enforce support orders, calculate arrears, and use every enforcement mechanism available. Request your free evaluation here.
