Question:

Both my federal tax return and my state tax return were intercepted because I owe child support.

However, I believe the returns took too much of my money as the amount intercepted was more than I owed in arrears.

How can I dispute the amount of child support money taken out of my state and federal tax returns?

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 was paying child support for a child I never met up until the time he was legally adopted by the child's mother's new husband.

At that point, I stopped paying child support believing my obligation ended once the child was adopted.

However, I received a letter saying I owe back child support during the time that my child was adopted.

Doesn't child support terminate once your child is adopted?

Those who are court-ordered to pay child support and are unable to do so do not receive much sympathy from the court.

While there may be room for discretion or leeway in certain cases, it is a pretty narrow issue involving statutory guidelines, percentages, and a handful of formulas.

Generally, there are two courses of action a party can take to enforce a child support award: utilizing the state child support agency or filing a motion for contempt.

Question:

I owe back child support so when I file my taxes, any refund is intercepted for paying off those arrears.

I have remarried and we now have children of our own. If we file taxes together, my ex-wife still gets all of our refund.

How can I file taxes so that my wife's deserved portion of our tax refund also does not go to support my ex-wife?
