child support services took too much money from me now I have credit, how can I get that money back?

Yeah, these people are right.  If the money has been paid to family court already, it will stay on your account and go towards any future balance.\n\nIf they garnished your income tax check, though, you will receive a refund.  It may take several weeks.  But not if it is part of a regular paycheck garnishment.

Get in touch with your county child support enforcement agency and advise them you have custody.  They will set you up with a caseworker who will be able to give you the information you need.  If the parent(s) are working they will be able to send a support order to their employer and collect thru wage withhold.\n\nGo to the county child support enforcement agency.  That's where you can begin.\n\nGood luck!!

Heres the thing man, I went through it to. There is nothing you can do; in respects to what she does with the money.  She does not have to provide and accounting to anyone of how she spends her child support check.  All she has to do is provide a home evironment for the child/children, you know feed and cloth them, get them to school ext.  If she is neglecting the children and you can prove it then call CPS or hire and attorney to take her back to court and win custody.   But before you do that, put yourself in the judges or a third parties shoes, how do you think others are going to see you case when you present what you have.  Most often emotions come in to play.  Good Luck

Go here and register and do it on line.  If you can't find your case, call the county agency with the original child support order:\n\nhttps://www.humanservices.state.pa.us/CSWS/CSWS_controller.aspx?PageId=CSWS/member_login.ascx

I would suggest that you consult with an attorney.\n\nIn almost every state, if there is a CPS proceeding, or child in need of care proceeding, you are eligible for an appointed attorney if you cannot afford one.\n\nI urge you to contact an attorney licensed in your state to assist you.  For a referral if you are not eligible for a free attorney, contact your local or state bar association.  Please... don't try and do it cheaply.  Your kids are worth it aren't they?

HELL NO YOU CAN'T GET IN TROUBLE!!!! stupid collection agencies will say anything to get you to pay up. a company called me once saying that i must really hate my preemie newborn if i wouldn't cough up the $20,000 for his medical care which the insurance handled eventually. idiots told me they could have my son taken away. \nthe worst thing they can do is report it to the credit bureau and if you're in collections they have already done that. \nbesides, you keep going off on them like that and maybe they'll quit calling you back.

If you want to modify your child support you need to go the Family Court clerk (in the county where the child resides) and request a petition to modify support. You'll have to have a good reason. They only typically suspend child support if you give up your parental rights. But they may lower it if you are unemployed.\n\nYou can get more information here:\n\nhttp://www.littlerock.org/CityManager/Divisions/CityClerksOffice/

You need to file a Motion requesting a reduction of Child Support. You need to do it sooner than later, because the Courts only cut you slack, from the day you file, not for back pay. Then they come up with an affordable payment plan that works within your budget.

Just pay your child support. You helped create them, now take responsibility for them.

You have to return to court and take with you all the documents that prove your payments and overpayments.  You may have to petition the court to adjust the difference since the other parent will, obviously, claim not to have the money but have spent it... that has already happened to two friends; one did not petition the court and waited for reimbursement; the "child" was not attending school, was not living with the mother but married and working... he never got the money back nor will he since it's TOO LATE (the kids is NOW 21 but he married at 17 and left school and was working, while the mother was keeping the money to gamble).  The other guy, who lost his home due to overpayment, had voluntarily agreed to have the money taken out of his paycheck... she claimed a need for more money (even though she is receiving child support from two other children and this child does not live with her... but with the grandmother whom she pays $400 a month yet she receives $1,200 a month from my buddy, and uses it to pay her car and her rent where she lives with her boyfriend... and the son does not live there!).  My buddy petitioned the court and got the child support reduced until the almost $6,800 is paid back to him; good thing he took all of the pay stubs for the past 10 years to court plus computer printouts of the same from the government job he has!  She earns about as much as he does, too, and she wanted him to pay $6,000 for a "dental" work she claims was done on the boy by a private dentist but she has a dental plan... when my buddy asked to see documented proof in the form of bills and to have the boy come to court to see the supposed work... she backed off quickly and the judge said he was NOT going to allow this kind of abuse to continue on HER part!\n\nDo what you have to do: go to court with your proof and petition a reduction in what you are paying now and ALSO petition that the amount owed you be ALSO reduced from what you are paying.

Since you have a computer go to your banks online service bring up the payments. Call the Loan Company while online discuss it with the manager in charge. Explain to them the problem you are haveing. A Friend of mine just went through this an she claim bankruptcy just prior to this but kept the car and payment. But what had happened is the payments go to a lock box and sit there and when they finally put it in they credited the wrong account. They were showing her two months behind an her payment were there on the first of every month. Plus get there building address not a po box and send the payments to that addrress.

Florida has a very effective child support enforcement program.  However, it is sometimes administered indifferently according to the county where you live.\n\nIf your ex owes more than $5,000 in back support, you can:\n\n1.  Have his passport taken away - or blocked so that he won't get one when he wants to travel.\n\n2.  Have him arrested and brought before court on criminal charges.  If the amount he is behind is relatively small, he will be forced to make payment arrangements and kept under watch - if he owes a LOT he will go to jail.\n\n3.  Have his child support deducted from his pay check.  The state will not only collect the amount ordered by the courts, but also an additional amount, up to 45% of his total pay before taxes, to make up the back support due to you.  The state also add interest at 10% to what he owes you.\n\nThere is a fellow in Tallahassee by the name of Tommy Thompson who is the top official in the state for child support enforcement.  He's hard to find, but if you start at www.myflorida.com, you can hunt him down.\n\nBut first you need to go to the Department of Children and Families in the county where you live and call upon the child support enforcement people.  There you are able to file a formal request for help in child support collection and enforcement.  Make sure you take along copies of the court orders requiring payment of the support.  Take along a record of how much HAS been paid in child support since the order was issued.  You can hand-write that; even if you must use your memory unaided to remember, make sure you do your best.\n\nThen write down how many months there has been no child support.\n\nIf possible, also take along any records or notes that give the father's full name, permanent address, phone number, social security number, date of birth, driver's license or vehicle tag number if you have them, and place of employment - including his job title, his supervisor's name, and the address of the company.  If he is self-employed or works as an "independent contractor," the DCF staff will help you figure out how to attach his earnings to pay support.  (Especially if he is self-employed, take along a copy of one of his checks - or anything you can learn about his bank accounts.)\n\nBeing prepared and organized when you arrive to make your claim for help will make a very, very big difference in how the claim is handled.\n\nPaying child support is not supposed to make any difference in seeing the kids.  The children need both parents, it is important for them in ways apart from finances.  The law does not allow you to forbid visitation regardless of the status of support payments.\n\nBut the law can be a very imposing tool for collecting support, if you take advantage of the opportunity.
