Re: Stoping child support payment

You need to hire an attorney immediately, to attempt to get prior order vacated or at a minimum request that the amount of arrears be reduced, and get the amount of current support stopped. I can help.

Re: Stoping child support payment

I urge you to hire a lawyer to try to straighten this out. If you were only separated for six monts, it is highly unlikely that you should have a $14,000 arrearage and hopefully a lawyer can convince the state or the court to give you credit for supporting your children with the exception of that short six month period.
