Maintenance arrears cover money owed for child support or spousal maintenance where a court-ordered amount has not been paid. A solicitor in England handles applications to enforce or vary these orders, advises on attracting enforcement, and represents the client in court or at the Child Maintenance Service process when appropriate. The work hinges on securing payments and responding to non-payment or changes in circumstances that affect future orders.
Arrears can lead to aggressive enforcement steps, including deductions from earnings, charging orders, or imprisonment if non-payment is willful. A solicitor provides guidance on compliant enforcement options, helps gather evidence of non-payment, and ensures court or agency procedures are correctly followed to protect ongoing support.
