Legal Question in Family Law in California
Child support arrears
Hearing date was set for 5/1/2002 due to a continuance, the hearing was held in June. The new amount of child support ordered at the hearing is an increase of $253.00 per month to begin retroactively on 5/1/2002. Due to the court losing the wage assignment order, my employer just received the wage assignment order Oct. 20 . It specifies that to make up the arrears, my employer must deduct from my check an addittional $50.00 separate from the addittional $253.00. The Order says this must be done until a total of $750.00 has been made up. However, the increase being $253.00 per month from May to Oct. totals $1,265.00
How much of the arrears must be made up based on this information?
