Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

I am having a support issue, it was stopped back in December due to DSS misreading my divorce agreement, and thought they were suppose to stop it, i never got a call, nothing that they were going to close the case, it has taken 2 months to get it reattached to my ex's pay who is in the guard, and makes a lot of money, he owes me for a full month, i asked DSS to please have the arrerage attached to his pay, my ex called them and talked them out of filling out a IV-D Form, he is dictating to them how he wants to repay me and says he will mail $200 a month to DSS, he owes me $2,400, do i have a right to ask it to just be attached? he has a history of not keeping his word, bouncing checks, that is why support was set up for automatic withdrawal to begin with.

You refer to DSS as the agency enforcing the child support, however, it usually is Child Support Enforcement that does so.

You should go down to child support enforcement in your area and ask them to file a motion in the magistrate's court to request an income wage withholding for the total amount due you. On your court date you should go to court and request that a payment be allocated for the arrearage along with the regular child support to come out of his paycheck.
