Getting behind in alimony or child support can be an extremely negative thing for your credit.

Currently, the states are enacting laws that allow them to put a lien, collection or judgment on your credit report in order to get you caught up on this debt.  It will be very hard to get a loan, buy or even rent if you are not current with these bills.  Plus this will stay on your report for 7 years or longer if not caught up quickly.

The solution is perhaps not as related to credit repair or credit management but to seek a better paying job and/or reduce debt so you can get caught up.

Remember that child support is for your children and this is the most important thing in your world.

My advice?

Do whatever it takes to get child support paid, and paid on time, as it will be a thorn in your credit report side until you do.  Once it is paid off, you can hire a reputable attorney service that deals in credit repair and get the judgment off your credit reports, thus giving you a clean slate to work forward on.  I only recommend one attorney firm that actually does this.  See my special blog on credit repair companies and who is reputable.
