  • 1.  Challenging Amount of Support on Probation's records

    Posted 06-20-2014 09:58 AM
    How does one go about challenging the amount of Child Support Arrears showing on Probation's records?  All client was given was a total dollar amount.
    I previously sent a letter requesting an itemization of the amounts due, payments made, etc.  No response.

    You can request that the Judge order an audit/accounting.

    The child support website itself  has a detailed listing of the payments and how the arrears are calculated if you client goes on the site.

    As Sharon Johnson said.  But the only way to challenge is with proof of what was paid.  Clearly, Probation,  or NJ Family Support, makes mistakes.  But you may find that the mistakes are not so much from what payments were made but what the "current" support order was over a period of time.
