Why Is Child Support Still Being Collected After I Stopped It?

A caller named Kim asked why child support payments were still being collected even after she told the state she didn't want any more money. Our attorneys explain that child support belongs to the child, not the parent, so telling the agency to stop isn't enough. A judge has to sign an official order to end or change it, and until then, money may keep piling up at the courthouse. Since Kim's case started in another state, it may need to be handled there first. Every case is different, so if you have a similar issue, reach out to Perry & Young for a free consultation.
