Q: My husband received a letter stating his support case is closed? Not sure what this means?
My husband has been paying support since his ex gf and him split up. He has been over paying as his job kept taking the money out. He has been receiving checks back from support for a few months of random amounts, which we did not understand why either. When he logged onto the online portal for support, it says the case is closed? Never have we seen this before and a letter was mailed to his job to cancel payments as well. We just are not sure why all of a sudden it is closed?
A: He can find out for sure by contacting your local Domestic Relations Office. Is his child 18 and been graduated from high school? That's the most likely reason. The checks are being sent back to him because he apparently overpaid and didn't owe any more support. Tell him to make the call to solve the mystery
