Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: arrears

You should really consult with an attorney. You need an audit and a motion before this really starts to hurt your credit report.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

Re: arrears

I am not clear from you question whether you resided in NJ or TX. However, you have to file a motion with the proper Court (whoever enter the support order) to terminate her support order, and you might have a claim for her to pay you child support.

I would be happy to follow up with you. Please email me directly or call my office if you would like to schedule an appointment either in person or by telephone. My contact information is listed in the links below.

Re: arrears

If I understand your question, you are making payments on child support arrearage. This is to pay the money that should have been paid years ago, when the other parent was carrying the whole load. If the child is emancipated, then there is no current support.

Re: arrears

If the child is emancipated or over 18 you should not be paying current child support. However payment of child support arrears is paying child support that you owed but did not pay in the past.

You should consult an attorney to make sure your assumptions are accurate.
