What is the name of your state? Florida
My husband has three children from his previous marriage and pays his child support via automatic deduction from his paycheck. He has paid his child support as ordered since his divorce. The only blip was when he was unemployed for three months and we paid as much as we could to child support, went to court, a new order was put in to increase child support to cover the three months, that was eight years ago and long ago paid off. My question is this, his agreement clearly states that support should end when the child(ren) are 18, emancipated, graduated from high school or dead, whichever comes first. The oldest is 20, in the navy, middle child turned 18 in March and the youngest is 14. We receive a statement monthly from the Department of Revenue that shows he has overpaid by approximately $10,000. He has filed all the appropriate modification papers with Child Support in Orange County where his divorce was. Will they use the overpayment as credit towards the child support obligation for the 14 year old And how long does it take from filing of papers until a final modification is entered and he can start paying less money? Thanks for any advice you can offer.
