Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Support

Paid child support 100.00 cash monthly until daughter was 18, now is 21,no records,she lived with me on and off, Can get local school records. Have had contact with ex through-out entire time..Was best man at her wedding,(daughters) she was Maid of honor at mine.(have pics).Now ex is asking NV to help her with getting back child support that she does NOT have coming. 18 years..What are my rights?NV sent inquiry to place of employment..Can NV take monies from my check without "my day in court"?

Its not like I've been hideing, as I said, daughter has lived with me,always have had contact with me. Can an ex wife, with no proof at all,after child is married and over age, just call the DA and cry "wolf" and ruin my life? Last but not lest,can she get into trouble for lieing to the DA? "hope"... Thanks

Re: Support

You do not say in which state the support order was made. This may be important as there may be a statute of limitations on collecting child support. California essentially has no statute of limitations on collecting unpaid child support.

You should get all of the records you can to show that your child lived with you. Also get a declaration from your child that she lived with you, and the best recollection of the dates when she lived with you. The school records could be used to refresh her memory.

Do not fail to appear in court on her motion to set arrearages. If you do not appear she will win by default, and will receive an order for payment of arrearages. This can be used to obtain a writ to attach your wages.
