Child Support

My wife is delinquent on her court-ordered medical payments for our child. Can I sue her for the delinquent funds in small claims court?

Small Claims court never has jurisdiction of Family law matters (despite what you see on TV). You may need to contact Family Support Services in your city, or at your courthouse, and find out what your local rules are for the enforcement of the judge's orders.
