My child support has been paid in full ..They are still holding money out every week
Q) My child support has been paid in full, I went to my local office and they told me that once it was paid that the garnishment would stop. They are still holding money out every week, shouldn’t they know when it’s paid and stop the payments? I’m needing all the money I make to live, I paid my debt.
A) If you have satisfied your child support payment requirements you need to request to have your child support garnishment stopped. To start this process gather proof of all paid child support payments. Then go to the court that issued the child support order and request an order to stop the wage garnishment from continuing
If the request is granted, take the order to stop wage garnishment to your employer. The wage garnishments should cease immediately
You will need to provide evidence of your reduction of income in order for the judge to modify your child support obligation. The best evidence is the most recent tax returns and recent pay stubs. After the court orders a specific child support amount, it is often the case that one parent may seek to modify the child support agreement. However, a parent seeking child support modification will need to prove a change of circumstances.
Steps To ask for a court hearing to change your existing child support order:
Fill out your court forms.
Have your forms reviewed.
Make at least 2 copies of all your forms.
File your forms with the court clerk.
Get your court date.
Serve your papers on the other parent (and the LCSA if involved)
File your proof of service.
