    Attorney's Boundries?
    Is there a limit on how much an attorney can coarce you to pay support?

    Can an attorney from the custodial parent constantly email and call the noncustodial parent to pressure them to "pay SOON or you'll be in comtempt and incarcerated speech"? Is (s)he in violation of any rights?

    I know one can shut the attorney up by 1) paying the support and/or 2) hire their own attorney, but the question is... can they harass a noncustodial parent like that?

    If there is a court order to pay support then the CP's attorney is within their rights to try and collect it.

    This isn't really true. They can assist in collection if asked by the Cp and its for a fee. But the actuall collection process is governed by law and there are boundries that they can not overstep. Many do thinking they can but it ends up coming full circle eventually. If the CP lives in a state that provides free collection then its almost ill advised to have the lawyer try to collect it as the fees may run higher then the support collected in total.
