New Orleans, LA asked in Child Support for Louisiana

Q: Will my child support arrears be made payable to me or will I still owe?

I was put on child support a few months ago, shortly after I’ve taken my kids to live with me. I have a rule to review court date set in order to terminate my case and put the mother on child support. Will my arrears be made payable to me or will I still owe and have to pay them to the mother whom will then be the non custodial parent.

A: Each month of child support is payable to the parent who had legal custody during that month. Motion to Terminate is retroactive only to the date it was filed
