A: I would love to answer your question, but it is not entirely clear.

If you are trying to decrease the amount of child support money your husband has to pay his ex-wife, or change the amount of money she has to pay him, the usual process is to file a motion and hold a hearing in front of a family law judge. The child support division may be able to be of some help in this regard, but they cannot provice legal advice.

The police have nothing at all to do with chiild support, spousal maintenance, or any other civil matters.

I hope that helps. If it doesn't, it'd be really great if you could take the time to explain what's going on in more detail, and also ask your question with a bit more clarity. Thanks so very much!
