What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
Hello, fellow advice-seekers and -givers! I haven't been active in awhile, but something popped up the other day that my husband could use some help with.
Situation - Dad pays weekly CS (a set amount) which is deducted from his check. Amount was reduced during a review last summer. Dad has been steadily employed at the same job without lapse. Dad has never been past due with CS.
New issue - Dad received a letter from the county CS agency stating that they were requesting his employer withhold an extra amount each week towards past due CS. This, obviously, was news. He called the agency yesterday and was told that he was approximately $600 behind. He asked for details as to how this came to be, and the agency said they would call him back.
Today, Dad received a call saying he is really $286 behind and that was from March 2010. Dad explained that 1) the judge's order from last summer acknowledges Dad was not past due at that time (July 2010, I think) and 2) he received a tax refund this spring and there were no liens against it then either. Dad also asked if he should provide documentation from his employer that they have been submitting the correct amount each week. Agency said they would call him back. Dad is asking human resources for this information, but they said it could be a couple weeks. He also has check stubs, but not dating back to March 2010.
Can you please help advise the next steps Dad should take? Should he continue working with the CS agency guy or is there another forum that this can be handled? Thanks in advance!
