And precisely how was anyone supposed to know that a review should have

been done? Or are you suggesting that they
review every single CS case?


I am not suggesting anything. I am pointing out it is federal law to
review
CS orders every three years or more frequently


When such a review has been reqquested.

and the state can has a
statutory obligation to initiate the process.


When a review has been requested.

And in this case, the state
failed to follow the federal law.


The review apparently wasn't requested.




The public officials never admit their failures to follow
the statutory requirements in the law.

As far as I'm aware, having been the recipient of the letter offering to

do a review - there IS no statutory requirement
to review a care periodically - at least, not in my state.


The last time I checked all states were subject to following the federal
laws or lose federal CS and welfare funding. Has your state rejected
federal CS and welfare reforms so they don;t have to follow the federal
laws?


As far as I'm aware, no. Child support is up for review 33 months after
the most recent ruling, IF such a review is requested. I've received the
letters, and depending on a number of circumstances, have either requested
such a review, or tossed out the letter. When the letter is tossed out,
no review is initiated, because no review has been requested.


My husband's case was reviewed at 3 years, even though neither he nor the
child's mother requested it. It was found that there was no change in
circumstance, so nothing was changed.
