My question involves child support in the State of: Utah
My ex husband lives in Colorado and my kids and I live in Utah where the court order for child support was ordered in 1998. He has never paid anything and currently owes over $52,000. He has always worked under the table until this last year. I have found out he is working a goverment job with reportable income. I contacted a lawyer on collecting and he wanted $1500 down before he does anything and I really cant afford this much money. If I were to go through DFS it may take years until I see anything because of their backlog. I would like to persue this on my own. Is this advisable and if so where do I start?
