The IL Supreme Court recently upheld a fine of over $1 million assessed against a child support obligor's employer for failing to withhold support properly. It's always important to consider a cause of action against an employer. Often the employer has the $$.

We often use Notices of Withholding (NOW) with large employers. But think about using these with small businesses or self-employed people too (small corps and the like). I have a case right now where it would have been nice if the previous attorney had used a NOW with this small corporation that the father/obligor runs. He unilaterally reduced child support...we're bringing a case against him but it would be great if we could go after the business too!
