Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Arrears

I was granted a child support order in 2004 for $902.00 per month. Because I was a soldier I had it registered in Texas while I was stationed there. I was summonsed to court on the 24 of Nov, 06 in which they granted him a downward modification. The father was $10,824.59 in arrears from the 2004 order but the magistrate did not add it. Her supervisor informed me that she saw all the information in my packet but, I must submitt an objection to get the arrears added into the court order. Why can't they just ammend it since it was the error of the magistrate?

Re: Arrears

The magistrate probably can amend the order, but that's also what objections are for. You only have thirty days to file objections, so act immediately or risk forfeiting your rights. COntact an attorney right away if you have further questions, but do not delay acting on the order you feel was erroneous.
