Q) My ex-husband employer haven’t been sending in my child support but they were taking it out of my check. What do I do?
A) A good suggestion would be to have your ex-husband verify on his pay-stub that his child support payments are being withdrawn from his pay. He could then ask his employer why his child support payment are not being sent to the child support agency. If there is a problem, then ask that the problem be fixed. He may also consider bringing his pay-stub to the child support office and show that his child support payment is being withdrawn from his pay. If it is recognized that the company may be willfully not sending in his child support payment he may consider getting legal counsel and representation to fix the problem.
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.
