Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

shall not pay support

In September of 1989 I signed an agreement through the court to pay $15.00 a week child support to my then estranged wife. In March of 1990 she was granted a divorce from me ( under mutual consent) and stated in testimony that she was not receiving child support and did not desire to receive any child support from me. and in the final decree it stated i shall not pay support. so how can the state support agency be attaching my wages for this???

Re: shall not pay support

Your ex's decision not to accept support does not bind the children, not does it bind the state if it is required to step in and provide support for the children. A child is always entitled to seek support since circumstances can change during the child's minority.
