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
Your child support payments can be changed only by a court’s modification order. The modification process can increase or decrease payments. The ways you can lower child support payments will vary by circumstance. You will need to convince a court that the financial situation of one or both of the parents has changed substantially generally. To lower your payments, you will need to file a motion in court to modify your child support payments. Most courts have pre-printed “fill in the blank” motion forms You will need to file this motion in the court that issued the initial child support order.
