What if the other parent doesn’t pay child support?

Payments are tracked through the Michigan State Disbursement Unit (MiSDU). If a parent falls behind, enforcement tools include income withholding, tax refund interception, license suspension, and even contempt proceedings. An attorney can help you pursue enforcement quickly.

If the other parent isn’t paying, do not withhold parenting time or use self-help; use the enforcement tools available through the court or Friend of the Court.
