he still owes me the back child support .. I believe there is a form I need to fill out
Q) I forgot to remove my son’s father from my checking account and recently NYS child support took my money and closed the checking account because he owes back child support. My money was then put on my child support card so I got it back in the end, but he still owes me the back child support because that money was not his in the account it was mine. I believe there is a form I need to fill out regarding this so he does not get credit for the money that got taken and placed on the child support card. Please email me or call me thank you!
A) I understand that you’re in a difficult situation. NYS child support took your money and closed the checking account because your son’s father owes back child support. Your money was then put on your child support card so you got it back in the end, but he still owes you the back child support because that money was not his in the account it was yours. I believe there is a form you need to fill out regarding this so he does not get credit for the money that got taken and placed on the child support card.
I’ve looked into this and it looks like you need to fill out a form called a “Request for Adjustment of Arrears”. This form will allow you to explain to the court that the money that was taken from your account was not your son’s father’s money, and that he should not be credited with that money towards his back child support obligation.
You can find the form here: https://www.childsupport.ny.gov/dcse/forms/request_for_adjustment_of_arrears.pdf
Once you’ve filled out the form, you can mail it to the following address:
New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance Division of Child Support Enforcement P.O. Box 2169 Albany, NY 12201-2169
You can also fax the form to the following number:
(518) 474-8062
I hope this helps!
NYS Child Support Program provides custodial parents with assistance in obtaining financial support and medical insurance coverage for their children by locating parents, establishing parentage, establishing or modifying support orders, and collecting and distributing child support payments.
If the form you need is not available in your language, please call 1-888-208-4485 (TTY: 1-866-875-9975).
If child support payments for your children abruptly stopped without any court documents or notice, you may have legal recourse. Here are some steps you can take:
Contact the child support agency: If you are receiving child support through a government agency, you can contact them to inquire about the reason for the sudden stop in payments.
Review your court order: Review the court order for the child support arrangement to see if there are any provisions for modifying or stopping the payments.
File a motion for contempt: If the non-custodial parent is in violation of a court-ordered child support arrangement, you may be able to file a motion for contempt of court. This can result in penalties for the non-compliant parent, including wage garnishments or even jail time.
Seek legal assistance: If you need help navigating the legal process, consider seeking the assistance of a family law attorney who can help you understand your rights and options and advocate on your behalf.
It’s important to take action as soon as possible to ensure that your children receive the support they need. I hope this information helps you find a resolution to your situation.
