Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa
Excess child support paid
If I paid excess child support than originally ordered and a modification takes place to increase the child support, can the excess paid in prior to modification go towards the 'back child support' that occured while waiting for the modification to finalize? The court made the increase effective 2 months prior to the finalized date.

Re: Excess child support paid
You might be able to argue that in court but it would be a matter of presenting the facts to the court by way of a motion or other pleading.
Re: Excess child support paid
In Arizona, yes. Any overpayment should apply to future obligations.
We can absolutely help.
I can explain the procedures better by phone or in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via e'mail. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss the matter in more detail.
Please call me directly to discuss the specifics of your case, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule a free 1/2 hour consultation.
