My husband pays his ex child support, support owed, child will turn 18, then what happens?
Q) My husband pays his ex child support. She has been ordered to pay (by magistrate) uninsured medical expenses – they are reducing her child support that she received by 20%. However, the child will turn 18/graduate this June (in four months) and the reduction in child support will not even come close to covering what is owed. Then what happens? What options do we have for collecting.
A) Once a child is considered a legal adult, the non-custodial parent is no longer required to pay child support payments. However, should there be back child support payments that remain unpaid, the custodial parent still generally has the right to collect on these back payments, even after the child has been emancipated.

Monroe child support office is a joke. They let the non compliance letters sit until a parent calls wanting to know what we are gonna do about getting payments. Then they say he bas made a payment within 30 days we cant take him back to court….really. in my case he has never made a full months payment never! He pays when he wants to. Quit his job works under the table and I have given them all this info. They send non compliance letters to my house. Where he doesnt reside. That office the door is forever rotating. You get one case worker and before you know it it is someone else. They don’t help at all in helping these parents get child support. Its almost like they help the other parent to get away.
