There are no specific regulations, but after 30 days simply notify child support enforcement. Contempt of court is not for non-payment, it's for not providing a valid reason for it to the court, or refusing to appear to present an explanation. Have you asked why he's in behind and what can be done to correct it. If he's been laid off his job, he may not know that free legal help is available through CSE to modify the payment to match that of unemployment. You can also come to your own agreement and file it with the court. With over 80% of layoffs being men, this is a common occurrence, but most women decide to punish the father for it rather than work together to solve the problem.

Where can you get the forms for filing contempt charges?
"Contempt" in a legal sense, covers not only holding the court up to disdain, but also the disobedience of a court order or an act which can impede the administration of justice. Criminal contempt is considered an offense against society, such as interfering with court proceedings or denigrating the dignity of the court. Unless you are a judge you won't be "filing contempt charges".In the civil courts a person may be found in contempt for failing to follow a court order (such as non-paymentof child support), but the court still brings the contempt charge. If the issue you wish to address involves a civil charge, go back to the court that issued the original order (whatever the person is in contempt of). The clerk of the court should be able to provide you with the paperwork necessary to address your issue.
