QUESTION
Am I being overcharged for Child Support Arrears?
Asked on Feb 17th, 2012 on Child Custody - North Carolina
More details to this question:
Old case (1998) from Nevada, children are now in their 20's, arrears only. Original order from NV states 325/month support and 100/month arrears. Foreign support order says "Collection of arrears Only" but North Carolina is making me pay the full amount of 425/month. When I asked CSE worker about it, she said they have to follow original order. Should I pay the full amount of the order, or only the amount set for the arrears?

When there is a child support order from another state in place, the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act controls the enforcement and modification of the order. It also controls when there are two competing orders. You mention that you have two competing orders but you don't say if the collection order is a North Carolina order. I would suggest that you see an attorney about the particular facts of your case and bring in the orders for the attorney to review.
