What can i do?
A:
Hello and thank you for using Justia. You can and must get the Child support order reviewed and ceased. You also need to request credit for payments made directly to the Child while he was in your physical custody (residing) and / or under your care. This is amatter that you problably would want to use an Attorney for the process.
If you need additional information please feel free to contact me directly.

Greetings
You have to request to have your child support case reviewed so you can provide proof that you have been providing for your son and that he has been living with you all that time through your legal representation. The court will examine the evidence and listen to the parties involved in a hearing. After examining the evidence; and listening to the testimony it will evaluate the receipts and listen to the legal foundation that can have the case closed or give credit to the payments that have been made.
The court will give credit to those years he has been living with you and or under your custody.
If you have any other questions or need additional information please feel free to contact us directly and we will be glad to help.
