I have a problem like yours in Cumberland County New Jersey with paying $6,000.00 over for my ex who collected welfare by fraud since she abandonded our daughter when she was 6 months old. I live in Tennessee and only have arrears which NJ makes sure to harrass me over even though I can prove my case they don't want to allow it to be heard. There is a REAL PROBLEM with New Jersey and their Support Enforcement Unit. They actually told me to take this as a lesson learned and to just pay my last $90 to sastify my case and move on.... Of course me being a bit short tempered I laughed and told the I'm not paying s**t until the laws abid to both sides and not just the females when in court. I really would like to chat about your case and mine so please contact me.. Maybe two heads will be better than one and we can both figure out a plan which will work :) Michael

First of all, do not listen to the advice from the last person who advised you not to pay the arrears. Support orders are exactly that: orders of the court. Failure to pay can result in your property being taken, contempt charges being brought against you or other consequence. In some states, failure to pay court orders support can even be grounds for suspension of a professional license such as a doctor's license to practice medicine. If cirucmstances have changed, it is up to you to bring a proper motion before the court and give you ex notice of a hearing and an opportunity to be heard. A person acting as their own attorney has the same duty as an attonrey to know the law and proper court procedures. You can't just call up the court and expect them to help you. They cannot provide legal advice or practice law. You need to file a motion to stop the garnishment and back it up with evidence. It's not the Court's job to do this for you.

IF YOU CONTINUE TO PAY YOUR ARREARS, YOU WILL NEVER SEE A REFUND OF THAT MONEY, GUARANTEED. PROTECT YOURSELF BY ASKING FOR A "PAYMENT HISTORY" OF THE ACCOUNT. THIS WILL BE YOUR PROOF THAT NO ARREARS ARE DUE. IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR CURRENT CHILD SUPPORT ORDER, LEAVE IT ALONG. DO YOU HAVE VISITATION WITH THE CHILDREN, STIPULATED BY THE COURT? IF YOU DO, AND IF YOUR VISITATION ALLOWS FOR YOU TO TRANSPORT YOUR KIDS TO YOUR NEW STATE, THEN YOU HAVE TO BUILD A CASE AROUND THE FACT THAT THE EX IS ALIENATING THE CHILDREN FROM YOU AND THAT SHE SUFFERS FROM THE SYNDROME CALLED "PARENTAL ALIENATION SYNDROME" OR "PAS" FOR SHORT. FOR THIS, YOU MUST HIRE A GOOD LAWYER WHO HAS DONE THESE TYPES OF CASES IN THE PAST. IF YOU STRUCTURE YOUR CASE CORRECTLY AND DONT BRING OTHER ISSUES TO THE TABLE, YOU THEN STAND A GOOD CHANCE THAT FULL CUSTODY OF YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE AWARDED TO YOU. BUT PLAYS YOUR CARDS CORRECTLY.
