What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Colorado/NY
I live in Colorado, the Mom is in NY.
now we get into the "muck"
originally I was garnished of a testified wage she stated that I never made, I appealed to the local court with proof of paystubs etc.., to the district courts, and wrote all congressmen and senators, all denied or not answered.
now onto the current issue
She's married and I was convinced it was in the childs best interests to be adopted by the father he knows. I consented. child was adopted near three years ago by her husband.
I am STILL getting support amounts (no arrears) but current weekly bills and garnishments. (I presume since the garnishment is near 60% it MUST be arrears even though the support bills dont say that). Also the support amount keeps climbing up instead of diminishing as I'd presume it should.
Ive asked the mother when she reported the adoption to NY, no answer, I've also requested for a copy of the papers we signed for adoption and waiver of rights, so that I could send it to NY, she states she "cannot find them"
what are my options here? I cant get the adoption racords elsewhere can I? I'm presuming since I waived my rights I dont have that ability?
My goal here is to stop the weekly amount of support that both her, and her lawyer said they would do (have in writing from both) then perhaps reassess how much money has been taken over the past few years..honestly is the extra amount taken can offset the substantial amounts I've continued to be charged, Id love to call it square....(one battle at a time eh?)
seems very difficult to do from so far away and get very little help from the local court house.
another question? I received a bill from NY state taxation and finance.. could that be support related? It looks like state taxes to me and I've not lived or worked in NY, well ever short of being born there 30 years ago.
please advise?
