Employer Ignoring Wage Garnishment Order

[momdiwali]

My question involves child support in the State of: Mo
My ex has a judicial wage garnishment order. The problem is that the company
Consists of 3 people and he is part owner.
Frequently he tells me that they didn't get paid so he
cant pay me. He is two weeks to a month behind most of the time.
I got the order to stop this but now it seems
that child support enforcement won't do much to
help me.
They said they'll call them when he's 30 days late.
Well a phone call isn't going to do much.
Can I sue the company for contempt of court?
Any other ideas? I get the feeling that garnishments are
useless in these cases.
Also I have evidence from social networking
Sites that when he says he isn't getting paid he is
getting dental work done (has no insurance), is
reroofing his house and he has money to take our daughter out, buy her gifts and
has gas money.
I've already tried the attorney general's office and they wouldnt help me.

If the employer is in fact failing to follow the terms of a wage garnishment order, you may petition the court to hold the employer in contempt.

[CourtClerk]

But, if he is in fact NOT getting paid, don't expect for anything to happen. 2 weeks to a month late is NOTHING.

Do you know if that is something I could do pro se? I just don't want to spend more money than I'll get. And what would happen if the court did find them in contempt? I also have an email from him saying that they're not getting paid because they're trying to buy the rights to the business from the previous owner. I just don't see how that can be legal. I think he might be getting paid less and/or he's getting paid under the table. Thanks for your answer. I know this is nothing compared to some people!

When he does recieve a pay check it is garnished? Problem is he doesn't get paid on a consist bases? and if that correct is he still up-to-date. For example let say he was ordered to pay $250 a week and let say 6 weeks go by with no paychecks and then he get one. Is his paycheck garnished 6 x 250.00 = $1500? or is it more like $1000 (owing $500) and he slowly falling behind because his paycheck are garnished correctly?
