Alternative Collection of Support

There are alternative means of collection in Mississippi for child support and alimony in Mississippi.  Attached is a letter that was shared with me last week written by Kermit R. Cofer who is a former Mississippi Supreme Court Justice.  It is attached here.   It discusses alternatives to collection via contempt petition.  Contempt is usually the fastest way to collect unless you have a party evading service.  In that case, some of the methods discussed here may be helpful.  The letter was written in 1975 but the statutes and old case law still allows for collection this way.  Your biggest battle may be convincing the court to issue garnishments and such without an order from the Court.
