Q: Do we need to hire an attorney to stop child support for adult children? This is not back pay.
My fiancé was ordered to pay child support through arbitration after a divorce (it was never thru child support services) and per what he reads...the paperwork sayshe is to pay until the1st year in college. I've never heard of this. If both kids are past the first year, how can he get the payments to be stopped? They still take money out of his check monthly.
A: You'll need an order stopping the income deduction order. Consult with counsel to discuss the process and to review the order. That wording does sound unusual, but that doesn't mean it is wrong.

A: Right, consider consulting with an attorney to discuss the facts in depth and what options are available. An attorney is trained in interpreting the language of settlement agreements and knows procedure.
