States may have different timelines for when child support is late enough to warrant action from the courts. Just because a judge issues a court order for a non-custodial parent to pay child support, that doesn’t mean the parent will always actually pay or pay on time.

The county DCSS can also sue to collect the arrears, particularly if the custodial parent and child had to receive public assistance during the periods of unpaid support.
