Q: Can obligee have cs taken by the State of Fl for some reason? Ex says FL is keeping her cs. Or is she lying to get mo $?
Can the obligee parent have child support taken by the State of Florida for some reason? They are taking it from my check, so where is it going? Or is she lying about not getting it just to get more money out of me?
A:
You can contact the Florida Department of Revenue directly to see how the money you are paying is being handled. Typically, child support belongs to the child. Therefore, it cannot be interfered with by the court. However there are many exceptions when it comes down to child support, and it may be possible that the money is being redirected in some manner. Instead of relying on the mother to provide you with information, you should get it on your own from the department of revenue, that way you will know it is accurate.
I wish you all the best.
