Re: payments made out to child

If you did not actually receive the child support, then it remains unpaid. Since it appears that you are going back to Court, you need to make that part of your Motion to be sure you are paid the full amount of the Child Support. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other facts that would change my opinion. And, no one can rely on the opinion of an attorney who has not been retained. Before you do anything, you should consult with an attorney. I would be happy to discuss this matter with you if you would call me at 856-546-8010. Mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation is free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner

Re: payments made out to child

If the child support is due to you and the payment was not made to you, it is not considered child support. You are still entitled to seek payment from him.
