What is the name of your state? MD but the case took place in NJ
After a long fight to regain custody of my step-daughter, my husband and I decided it was best for her if her grandmother adopted her. She really didn't know us anymore and the grandmother must have been saying things about us to her because she was terriffied to even get in our car for visitation. We decided to just let her go instead of tormenting her the way we were by forcing her to come with us. ANYWAY, she was adoped in August of this year however they never stopped the child support. Now they are trying to issue a warrant for my husband for non-payment. I thought it was supposed to stop when she got adopted. The grandmother, who has done nothing but lie throughout the last 3 1/2 yrs., told us that she was even going to stop the arrearages. Now they say he owes $1,700 in back support. How do I get this stopped? Apparently the grandmother's lawyer didn't contact the child support agency to notify them of the adoption. They are saying we need to provide that information but the courts won't give it to us because of privacy. We have tried to contact the lawyer that handled the case and he "conviently" doesn't call back. Please help me! We have a 2 yr old little girl here that needs her daddy. I can't have him going to jail because he didn't pay for a child that is no longer his in the first place.
