Refusing to pay child or spousal support isn't “teaching your ex a lesson.” It's creating a legal record of your own noncompliance.
If you believe the amount you're ordered to pay is unfair, your remedy isn't to simply stop paying. There are legal avenues for requesting a modification or challenging a support order — but ignoring the order can create serious consequences for you down the road.
Unpaid support can accumulate, lead to enforcement actions, and become part of the court's record when future issues arise.
TLDR: you may think you're punishing your ex, but you could be making your own legal situation much harder. 😬
If your financial circumstances have changed or you believe your support order needs to be revisited, talk to a family law attorney before taking matters into your own hands. ��⚖️ Book a FREE consultation at the link in bio.
