Q: Chp 13 trustee paying child health insurance but not child support to custodial parent. Debtor's court ordered to pay
MO child support court ordered debtor to pay both monthly support to custodial and debtor to pay monthly health insurance. Trustee paying just health.
A: You need to review your own plan that you submitted to the court and make sure that the payment is in there. Talk with your attorney if you cannot find it. Do this IMMEDIATELY, as the payments are going to other creditors. The trustee has no way of knowing your intent if not in writing. If it is in the plan, then the trustee made a mistake. But your attorney and you did not catch it when the list of claims to be paid was sent to you. What happens next depends on what you find.
