I keep going to court and nothing ever happens. Why can’t you just throw the other parent in jail?
Answer
The Title IV-D Program has no authority to incarcerate someone. Only a court can do that. You have the right to attend every court hearing and speak to the court. You can make recommendations about appropriate sanctions for contempt, including a request that the non-custodial parent be incarcerated. We will also attend every court hearing and make our recommendations. Ultimately, however, it is up to the court alone to decide how to handle each case.
