Stipulted motion to terminate child support

My husband has just adopted my daughter. I am getting ready to sign a stipulated motion to terminate child support and arreages for her biological father. The adoption was final on May 11th. it is now July 7th and they want the child support to be retroactive to may 11th. They have still been garnishing his wages for child support and I have recieved a check every week since may. Will i have to pay everything back if they make it retroactive to the date may 11th.

Thank you

Re: Stipulted motion to terminate child support

Anything paid for the time period after May 11 will have to be returned. Payments made for the prior time, even if paid after May 11, are not subject to the retroactive rule.
