Question:

My child support modification hearing was dismissed because I was late in filing the necessary documentation with the court.

I have proof that my child support arrears are paid off along with income statements showing my substantial decrease in earnings that should qualify for a child support modification.

How can I get my child support case re-heard since I believe the only reason for dismissing my motion to modify was because I missed the deadline?

Question:

I owe a substantial amount in child support arrears and am worried I will be thrown in jail.

The state is preparing to take away my driver’s license and my professional licenses, which will leave me unable to drive or work and result in jail time. This only makes the problem worse!

What can I do to prevent the state from taking these actions and forcing me into falling even further behind on child support?

Question:

My question is about child support and paternity laws.

I am the biological father of a child born to an ex-girlfriend, though I have not spoken or seen either in many years.

The mother of my child recently contacted me and said she wants our child to meet me so he could know who his father is.

I suspect she only wants this meeting to take place so can serve me with child support papers even though we both agreed many years ago that it would be best if I was not involved in our child's life.

How can I protect myself in this situation? Is there an agreement we can reach that will hold up in a court of law stating she will not request child support?

Question:

I need to know the correct procedure I need to take to get back child support dropped or even modified. 

At the beginning of our marriage separation period she started receiving government assistance which in turn led to me having child support garnished from my paychecks. She said she took care of the situation and child support stopped being garnished.

Now, several years later, child support is coming after me saying I have failed to pay child support his entire time. So even though no money was being garnished, my arrears were apparently building up.

The child support enforcement agency is just treating me like a "deadbeat dad" and won't listen to my case.

How can I get child support modified?

Question:

What are the legal collection methods for unpaid child support?

I owe back child support and am paying through a wage garnishment.

Can the child support enforcement agency also freeze or garnish my bank account to take those assets as well?
