Re: recovery of over paid childsupport
You can make a demand for repayment of the overage, and if the other parent is unwilling to cooperate you can file suit in order to obtain a judgment for the money. Once you have a judgment you can garnish wages, bank accounts, etc. or execute upon personal property. There may be other ways to collect the money depending upon various facts. Good luck!
