Q: How do I get records of the total I should have had to pay in child support from start to finish?
My child support was closed by the department of revenue as they said I paid all that was owed. Then a few months later I get a notice saying the case is being reopened by the courts saying I still owe almost $5,000. I paid all my arrears it took me a few years after my daughter turned 18 but I got it done. I also called the department of revenue to confirm it was done and they said, yes I was finished.
A: The Department of Revenue should have a full accounting of all of your payments, as long as you paid through the central depository. Hopefully when you confirmed that you were paid up you got something in writing. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
