I am the legal guardian of a teenage girl whose father has been court ordered to pay child support and her college tuition. He is wealthy now but has other criminal charges against him which means that he may go to jail sometime soon. Is there any way to ensure that he will pay support even if he does go to jail?
Unfortunately not. Maybe you could be proactive, and get the court to order some form of advance payment or the payment of the balance of his support (through the age of majority) via a trust fund or annuity? I don't know whether there would be any authority for that in your state, but it's worth exploring that or any similar option you can think of.
Once he is actually delinquent in paying his support, you can place a lien on his assets and collect the overdue amount through those assets.
