What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts.
2 weeks ago I received a call from my childs mother. Said she received a letter saying support would end on 4/12 next year. Told her not to worry, support would be paid as agreed. She then told me she called MA DOR and had to fax them our divirce agreement and a letter from the school my son attends.
3 days ago, I received a letter from DOR Massachusetts stating that, Based on their records, my obligation to pay child support ends on 4/6/2017 (original order ended 4/12). My son turns 18 next march (2012) and will graduate HS in June, 2012. My current order stated that I pay until 18YOA, or graduation from HS plus 3 months whichever is the later or completion of post HS education or age 23. My question is, is DOR just sending this to state these items on the original agreement because they had been missed by them before? My plan was to wait until 3 months past HS graduation or post HS education completion before looking into changing the order.
I called MA DOR who told me I would need a modification from the court to change the 4/17 date. I asked why they accepted faxed items to change the order/date from the other party, they said, Because what was sent to them made sense. Should I be looking into it now? Is this something I should go after now? I cant see why I should do anything until 3 mouths after HS graduation. Then I will know what my child will be doing. Need some help, suggestions, etc... Anyone ever go thru this with MA DOR before?
