Woodstock, GA asked in Child Support for Georgia

Q: I have over paid ~$10,000 for CS due to child care that is no longer needed. Can I get that money back?

He stopped receiving child care in the 6th grade and is now a junior in high school. I have been overpaying $167 a month for 5 years. The $167 is my portion of her child care expense at the time of the divorce that has gone on for an additional 5 years. IT could go on for another two unless I get a modification

A: You need to file for modification in the court where the child support order was issued. It is best to contact an attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your case.

We wish you well.
