There isn't enough information here to explain what you may have seen on the docket.
Court ordered payments through child support office , but no money since February. I called DOR and was informed that they were told payor told them that they are sending money directly to me, no proof ever given.
No call made to me and I was told to file a motion is this legal?
answered on Sep 8, 2020
You need to file a motion saying that you are not receiving the child support. Once in court it will be payors burden to prove that direct payments were made. If the court order says payments through state disbursement unit then that is where payor should be sending payments, not directly to you.

What do you believe he did to defraud Social Security and the State of Florida? A custodial parent can hire someone to look after the child; so he could in theory also leave your son with his parents, although the court may well hold it against him in deciding your motion to modify custody.
We’ve been living together, 24 years Is there common law here in Florida I’m getting mixed answers?
answered on Sep 1, 2020
No, so-called "common law marriage" is not recognized in Florida.
Florida Statute 741.211 provides as follows:
"Common-law marriages void.—No common-law marriage entered into after January 1, 1968, shall be valid, except that nothing contained in this section... View More
And what could I except in support, she has 3 years left in high school I average 10,000 a year he makes 60,000

Assuming you are not married, you don't qualify for alimony. If you are awarded custody, you would be awarded child support. What do you mean that you "average 10.000 a tray"?
We were never married & had verbally agreed on no support

How does your son's father figure that your new husband can owe the boy's father for child support?
No kid together, but we did. Is there a lawyer who would take my case up front and take money after the win?

Attorneys are in general not allowed to agree to contingent fees in domestic relations cases.
My kids are 23 and 25 years of age, and I'm still being charged for monthly support. How can I terminate a court ordered support case from New York, if I'm living in Florida? Hopefully there's online forms that i can mail to the courts, because there's no way I can go all the... View More

Call, write, send an email to the clerk of court in New York and ask if there are such forms.
My husband has a custody agreement where he is supposed to pay $300 a month plus an extra $100 for back payment till the $1500 he owed was paid off. I adore him, but he just does whatever she says because he's scared of her. He didn't realize the $400 was supposed to be temporary and that... View More

You do not need a lawyer. Your husband needs to call the Department of Revenue and find out the balance they think he owes. Go from there: I he can prove the payments he will be good to go.
Child lives with neither parent yet she seeks child support. Lost my job and I’m a injured vet whom served 7+yrs. original case from Illinois. Mother moved child from Chicago to Arizona without fathers (me) consent or knowledge
answered on Aug 17, 2020
Your question is unclear. If you need someone to review the order of child support or modify it, since you lost your job, you will need to have someone where the order was initially entered, which from your question was not in Florida. You may want to repost your question in the Illinois section of... View More
Why are they still garnishing my disability check and took my stimulus money when I don't owe them nothing I sent a copy of the transaction history dating all the way back to 2012 showing balance due is zero I believe I'm intitlled to reimbursement from the date of case being closed til now
answered on Aug 17, 2020
Sometimes, when a child support order is not clear when child support ends, you have to ask the court to end the child support. You may need to get a court order ending the support and addressing the issue of over payments.
Good luck.

Having a closed case is not the same as not having a responsibility to pay child support. It's unclear what you mean by closed case. If your child/children have all reached the age of majority (18) and graduated from high school, then you should be done paying. If money is still being taken... View More

Consider paying the CS into escrow or depositing it with the court. If she pursues enforcement explain this to CS enforcement.
My son has lived with me his whole life from birth till now and he is 13 years old now. If he moves with his dad now will his father be able to request child support for the next 5 years of him living with his dad??
I have never taken him to court.
Please help

Basically, yes, the father can seek child support from you. A big problem is the fact that the statute of limitations has run on much of the child support you never asked for.

You can do whatever you want, but you might as well just document this violation and then wait until August 11 to see if the documents were delivered as the lawyer said. If not THAT is the time to start moving against both of them.
Now they want me to repay 1,800 the father owes 12,000 plus still. Do I have to pay this back ?
answered on Jul 26, 2020
Child support paid the money to you instead of the rightful recipient? Yes, you have to repay it.
I lost job in 2008 so that’s when backed payments accrued. I pay my child support plus extra for the accrued. The case is in Chicago but I live in Florida

You are, as I understand it, current then. But if you have a question about this situation, you probably should ask it in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > Illinois; it would have nothing to do with Florida law.
keep Sending her mother money to help support my daughter or should I wait until the court case is final.
