Q: good afternoon. I have a question concerning the legality of Massachusetts DOR and the collection of child support.
i filed a complaint for modification and custody in 2013. i asked the court to set my child support arrearage in my pleadings. Both the other parent and Mass dor were served. I received Judgement on 5/2013. per agreement i owed $10000.00 child support. Dor now states I owe mother 10,000 and THEM 10000.00 it was never part of the agreement or judgement. what are my remedies
A:
You will need to have a copy of the Judgment of arrears to provide to the DOR and
have confirmation that mother is receiving support ( and arrears ) through the DOR and provide
your print out from DOR handy and ready to discuss with them. If there are no new arrears then
no double payout should be happening.
