3 years ago my ex and I agreed on 400 per month for child support for my 2 children. Currently he is 2 years behind and owes the state of MN $9200 to get caught up. He was just recently approved for disability benefits and the backpay totals about 7000 dollars. My child support case is being handled by my worker with Mille Lacs county and she has sent all the court ordered paperwork to the SS office and they are aware of his debt to the state and plan on garnishing that amount. It would first go to the state and then get sent to me from them. My ex husband is threatening that if I do not agree to send him at least 3500 dollars when I get the money that he will hire an attorney immediately and be able to get a freeze put on the backpay so that i will not get anything until a judge re-evaluates the child support amount. He feels that since he has been disabled for the last 2 yrs that a judge will take that into consideration and probably lower the amount he owes me since he coundn't work for the last 2 years. My question is......can a judge stop that money from paying out, do I have any reason to think that an attorney or anyone else can prevent this court ordered support from getting paid. I'm panicking right now and could use a little reassurance as soon as possible. Please help. Thanks so much!!!
