What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
My ex has always paid support through paycheck withdrawals directly to me rather then use the state system. Our child has decided to spend more time at his house. He has stopped paying because she is now spending more time with him. He has not taken action to file a motion to change the court ordered amount. He also has not filed a motion to change the custody arrangement. I would like to wait until he takes legal action but do not want to go beyond any statute of limitations as far as colllecting missed payments. I also do not want to wind up in a situation where he files a motion to change custody and says the change has already occurred so he should not have to make up the missed payments for the time he has had her. At what point should I stop waiting and simply report him as having missed payments? Is it based on time or dollar amount?
