Re: child costody
You can file a motion to set aside judgment (or a motion for relief from judgment) claiming fraud in that the papers were switched on you, but it sounds like the judge is already against you on the issue. I'm not sure I understand your question about your goverment check. Do you mean your check for child support paid through the clerk or Tallahassee? You can't ask them to directly deduct the arrears from your check--they don't have that in the system--but you can pay it any other way. If it is any other form of government check, you can have your arrears deducted from it.
