How to Collect Past Due Child Support in New Jersey

    • 1). Go online to the New Jersey Court's website (http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us) and access a "certification for support order to be administered through probation division" if your payments are not already being made through the PCSE. Click on the Quick Site Index at the bottom left of the page and go to "Forms." The certification is form number 11181 under "Family Division." Complete the form, giving the court all identifying information regarding your support order, such as the docket number, your name and the name of your child's other parent. Tell the court how far behind she is on support payments and any sources you believe she is receiving income from. Sign it and attach a copy of your support order.

    • 2). Take your certification to the clerk of the court that issued your support order. A complete list of addresses and contact information for each county is available on the New Jersey Courts website (http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us). A family court judge will sign an order requiring your child's other parent to make all future payments through the PCSE. If he is employed, the PCSE will begin garnishing his wages for your regular support payments, plus a small additional amount toward his arrears, which is any past due child support he owes you.

    • 3). Call New Jersey's Office of Child Support Services at (877) NJKIDS1 or (877) 655-4371 before the beginning of the calendar year. If your child's other parent still owes you more than $500 in past due payments, New Jersey will intercept her federal tax refund. If she hasn't paid you anything in more than a month, the state will also garnish any New Jersey tax refund she is due to receive. Do this in December so the state has time to act if she files her tax return in January.

    • 4). Call the Office of Child Support Services if you have any idea where your child's other parent does his banking. If what he owes you equals three months' worth of support payments or more and he is not paying, New Jersey will freeze his account and attach a lien for the amount you are due.

    • 5). Contact a professional child support collection agency, such as Support Collectors, if you don't know the whereabouts of your child's other parent. Such agencies have private investigators on staff who specialize in finding parents who owe child support.
