Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

My ex husband stopped paying child support for 7 weeks while there was a dispute about paying the mortgage and it foreclosing, i filed a IV-D form for arrerage as Child Support Enforcement told me i have a right to do, my ex received a letter from DSS and he and his attorney went and filed contempt on me to get me to stop the arrerage which i refuse to do,i have proof in writing my ex saying his attorney advised him to stop paying me, does she have a legal right to do that? it is now direct deposited to me, but he owes me $3,000.

I don't have all the facts so I can't really be very specific, other than to say that if he owes you $3000.00 in child support, then you could file a motion to compel payment or a motion for contempt. It doesn't matter what the attorney told him, it only matters what a judge rules.
