What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
The department of revenue, child support division is trying to get me to pay back "overpaid" child support that I have been due because the payor (my daughters father) is suspected for tax fraud and may have a tax lien. They of course will not give me specifics, but I have records showing that they owe me this money, yet they are trying to state that the tax money that he owes comes first before child support, even though the money I have been paid was earmarked for child support. They are stating that I have to pay back money that I am rightfully owed. Do I have any recourse?
BTW, I filed a reconsideration dispute last year which they denied and I never heard from them again until almost a year and a half later. I have sent them a new dispute letter asking for proof of payment and a statement showing that they have indeed paid me all the money that they owed me just in case I am incorrect, however I have not received a response, and not sure they will send it. Worried they may try to garnish or intercept my tax returns and such for this.
