Can the court address unpaid add-on expenses like child care, medical bills, or extracurricular costs?
Schedule a Free Consultation
New York child support orders often include add-ons beyond the basic obligation, and unpaid contributions toward these items can trigger enforcement action. The court can review receipts, documentation, and past due amounts for expenses such as child care, uncovered medical costs, therapy, tutoring, or after-school programs. If the other parent has ignored these obligations, the family court can order repayment through the same enforcement mechanisms used for base child support, including income execution or tax refund interception.
