There shouldn't be any jail time in a situation such as this - the objective is to ensure that the payments are made, and that has been done.

Is it legal for your ex to pay child support to his current girlfriend to keep you from getting the full amount you are owed for your children with him?

The ex is not actually paying child support to the current girlfriend unless there is a court order stating that he must due to location or other circumstances. If there is a legal agreement in place stating that he must pay child support to both children, then yes your child support amount may go down. If he does not have an order stating that his payment amount to you changed, then he is legally obligated to pay the amount previously stated on the order.If there was no order and he was just paying support, then he can change the amount at any time. By your verbiage of saying "owed" I am assuming that you have a court order stating the amount required each month.

How do you pay child support arrears?

They can, if you have a persuasive reason such as being unable to pay. If you declare bankruptcy, then you won't have to pay anything, since no debts are collectible from a bankrupt person. Arrearages may be reduced or credited if you can either prove you have had the child for all or part of the time child support has accrued, if you can convince the petitioner to waive part or all arrears or if you have proof of payments made directly to the petitioner (given your support or divorce order does not specify such payments will only be considered a gift and the judge approves the validity of the payments). Filing bankruptcy does not satisfy and child support owed you will still be liable for paying as it is a court order signed by a judge.


If you have been receiving an extra 300 per month for child support above the court-ordered amount for 3 years can you enforce it as child support if your ex now wants reimbursement back from you?

It would not be deemed to be a child support payment if it were not included in the original support order. However, if the payment was voluntary and not coerced or obtained under false circumstances, the person paying the support would not be able to recover the amount.


Can child support be taken from a settlement check?

At least a portion of the amount can be garnished for child support arrearages. All SS benefits are subject to garnishment for child support. Since all government agency share information concerning child support issues it is possible the amount(s) will be removed before the beneficiary receives payment.
