You need to consult with an attorney who practices in the county where the last court order was entered. The Attorney General has a wide range of powers to use to collect past-due child support. If a judgment was taken, even many years ago, it is probably still enforceable. You may be able to reach a compromise agreement with your ex-spouse or work out a payment plan. If you do nothing, you should expect continued trouble because the A.G. has located a source of funds.
