A: An attorney will need more information to properly answer your question. Based on what you are indicating, I would guess that your ex-wife is receiving some sort of public assistance and that the state is taking part of the $240 out to account for or compensate it for something tied into that. I could be 100% wrong, but this is the only type of scenario in which something like that might happen. As long as you are getting credit for the $240 you are fine.
