Clearing up support arrears already paid

My husband is getting letters from the California DA stating that he owes several thousand dollars in child support which he already paid. The problem is, at the time, his ex did not have a bank account, so she convinced him to send cash via fedex. He still has a lot of the shipping receipts from those packages.

Do we have any hope at all of getting this taken off the arrears amount? This is a lot of money we are talking about.

Well i will tell you what they told my husband when he was in this type of situation. They said if you send her cs directly make sure you send a money order and keep all receipts because that is the only thing that will hold up in court . He was getting his x-wife to write him out a receipt and child support recovery said that they are not worth anything because she can dispute them and the judge will favor on her side of course. So good luck the only thing I can advise you to do is see if his x-wife will sign an notirized document stating that she received it . Good luck

That is about what I figured. I was just hoping someone might have a magic answer i hadn't thought of. The DA is currently auditing the account anyway, so we will just hope for the best.

Thanks

MAKE the DA audit the account and give you a complete pay history, showing where every cent was applied and the balance of each month.

I had the same thing happen and made the Da do this, and found out that I over paid by almost 300.00 dollars!!

It only takes two weeks or so, but it is worth the wait!

My question is this? What is there to audit? She stated that her boyfriend sent the money via fed ex in the form of cash, and from my understanding directly to the CP? if so there is no money trail, no receipts.. he will still be responsible for the arrears since he didn't get a money order or make it out to her in the form of a check.
