Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

Ex owns his own business and he only been paying every other month in child support. The state office of recovery services had his wages garnished since Dec 2014 but he only complied once in February of this year and hasn't complied since so we haven't received any support since February. I think he may have over extended his living by his big house and nice cars and his wife's recent boob job so I think he just can't afford his payments for my kids. What can I do?

You can file a motion for order to show cause where you will ask the court to hold him in contempt of court which can result in his being incarcerated and ordered to pay a fine and your attorney's fees. The court would also award you a judgment for all past due child support, plus interest which would allow you to execute, or go after his assets, including his cars and his house.
