When I returned to my civilian job they continued to take child support from my pay despite numerous attempts from the Attorney General ordering them to stop the garnishment. I am at wits end. What can I do to stop this? I’ve already met my obligation!
Question: I've been divorced for over a year now and have been paying child support every month without fail. Now, the state of Mississippi is telling me that the federal law says I must pay my support through them because my ex-wife is receiving food stamps. I provided the state proof that I am current on my support payments only to receive a call from the Human Resources department at my office a month later. HR is now telling me that they received an order of garnishment from the state of Mississippi. I called the state and again they told me it's a federal law that if I have a job, support must be taken from my paycheck. It's an embarrassment at work and I feel it is all because my wife refuses to work. How do you recommend I handle this?
My paycheck is currently being garnished for child support ($2000.00) monthly. My 2 children are grown, ages 24y and 21y. This garnishment should have stopped 4 months ago, however, it did not. I don't know if I need an attorney at this point or if I can file the necessary papers myself. My ex-wife still feels that "I still owe her" but I have paid what I was ordered by the judge to pay and now overpaying her. What do I need to do to stop this? Can I get the amount she has been overpaid repaid to me?
Question: My child support obligation ended years ago but is still being taken out of my paycheck. What do I need to do? Answer: File a Motion for Emancipation to terminate the order of child support. Make sure that the final order terminates the wage assignment as well. Also consider a Motion for Sums Due and Owing. I am not licensed in Illinois, but in Missouri, for example, it is the obligation of the parent receiving support to terminate the child support order. Therefore it is possible to recoup the overpaid child support. |

Question: I recently returned from military deployment where I completed my child support obligation in 2007. 
Question: My daughter owes her lawyer $1,500 in fees and has been paying each month. Her lawyer wants full payment and my daughter presently is not working. Is it possible for the lawyer to garnish the child support she receives? This is her only means of income at the present.
