back child support

I have been paying court ordered child support for nine years. It is
deducted from my check each week. Since my ex-spouse moved to a
different county recently the state wants to re-establish child
support for my son. Of course I have had several pay-increases in the
last 9 years. Though the amount garnised from my pay is the same I
have been making up the difference with a check to my ex each month.
Now the court is saying I need to prove this somehow. Even though my
ex is telling them that I have fulfilled my financial duties. Does
anyone out there know if I am going to be held repsonsible for back
child support? Even though my ex and I have had an understanding all
of these years. She is not the one pressing this issue, it is the
courts.

You will not be responsible for "back child support" if you are paying
the court ordered amount, regardless of any raises you may have obtained
after the support order was in place. In some states, it's typical
for the CS agency to "review" your case, which could involve reappraising
incomes of both parties along with deductible expenses. In California,
for example, the option to review the case is presented to the CP
every 3 years.

"Non-conforming payments shall not be credited as child support"

IOW - direct payment to the custodial parent is a gift, unless she signs a
notarized affidavit of arrears with a zero balance on it and the ordering
court accepts it.

Good luck.

Each state has its own way of doing things, but in Ohio any money given
directly to the mother or child is considered a gift, and does not count
towards the court ordered child support. In Ohio they do not care what
arrangements you have with the mother. If is not done thru them then it has
no merit, even if the mother says otherwise. Fathers in Ohio have to
basicly take it up the ass and smile.
