How can I dispute child support payment amount?

Hello, sorry for the late response.
My insurance if I include my two children $460

In matters involving divorce, child CUSTODY, alimony, and/or CHILD SUPPORT; one is foolish NOT to seek the services of a licensed, competent, respected family law attorney.

Don't be the guy showing up to a gunfight with a DULL, Boy Scout or multipurpose Swiss Knife.
 
Hello everyone. For some reason I am not able to log into my old account. I am the one that created this topic and I have an update.. there has been a modification in child support. After filing a motion for child modification and parenting plan. Both parenting plan and also the the child support have been modified . the judge found significant change of circumstances therefore the other party (petitioner) has now to pay me child support. Now my question is does the other child support needs to be stopped? I'm asking because i just checked In my last check I just got a couple of days ago it shows that they still taking child support money out of my check and the New court order has a date of 1/16/26. So I don't know if that child support needs to be closed/Stopped and if so how. I'm representing myself by the way.

Thanks in advanced..
 
The disposition of the old child support order should have been addressed in the current child support order.

Was it?

If stopping the old child support was not specified in the new child support order it continues until the judge says it stops. You may have to file a Motion for Clarification to get that.
 
Also, It takes a little time for your employer to be properly notified. Your employer can't stop the withholdings just because you show them a piece of paper.
 
Thanks for the replies! That's the question! since this is my first time going trhu this I'm just trying to figure this out before I contact the court and file what ever is needed. But I don't know what words/language the court uses in a court order to make the "old"child support order stop. Here I attached the court order. Let me know if you guys find the language that indicates what I'm looking for.

I see in the court order under Important information it says: if this is a modification of child support all other prior "orders" of this court "not" modified remain in full force.

Vague. Can be read two ways. All prior orders remain in full force and effect. Or all prior orders that are not child support remain in full force and effect.

The order does not specify that your prior obligation for child support is extinguished.

I think you need clarification and an order specifically cancelling the wage deduction. One that you can personally deliver to your employer.

Correct is Vague. But it says "modified orders". Is was a petition for modification of child support which now that child support order has been modified…which now mother has to pay me…instead of me paying her. gosh I know it can read both ways. But hey I'm learning lol.
 
There is only one child support order which has now been modified. I don't believe there's anything vague.
Should the withholdings from your check stop? Yep! Contact the child support agency charged with collecting the child support and ask for their assistance.

I don't see it as vague at all. It's a common provision when modifying a prior order that only the parts of prior orders that are expressly changed by the order are affected and any order that is not expressly modified by that order remains in effect. For this reason, when proposing a modification to the court, make sure to read your modifications along with the present orders that are in effect. Anything you don't get expressly changed is likely to still be in effect after the modification. If you miss changing something important, that ends up being on you.
