My husband has been paying child support faithfully, but now that his daughter is no longer a minor we can't seem to find the right way to cancel these payments, they are now deducting the amount of child support from his SS checks. We have tried contacting the NJ Child support division but have not been able to get in touch with anyone via phone or by mail. What else can we do? How can we stop paying?

You'll have to find out who the caseworker is thats dealing with your case. Or you can write to them (make sure you put your case # and such on it) and send it certified mail. The 2 people I have known that had to deal with that ended up still paying until the court decided to look at the records and see the age of the child but they had no arrears and ended up getting that money back? I just suggest you hound everyone at that office until you can talk to someone. OR, you can always give him back the money you get for child support...

Contact a lawyer.

Before the state can garnish anything, you must be properly served with a statement stating how much will be garnished and from what...Its always hard to get through to anyone when calling any child support division. Some states are separated by county and others by Field office.He must be on SSA right? legally SSI checks can not be garnished at all so It must be SSA (which can be garnished).If the child is over the legal age, and he is still making payments, s/he is either still in high school or he owes back child support. The state cant continue to garnish if he owes nothing.If he owes arrears, have him check with the person he pays support to and see if she will write off any back debt owed. If its owed to the state (because she was on TANF) request a conference board write off... He has rights as a NCP, and its important he exercises them.You know what? I will look in my contact sheet to see if I can find out a direct line for you to call. I will get back to you.

First of all even if she is no longer a minor, if she is still in High school or college he will still have to pay. If school is not the case you should call child enforcement agency or the prosecuting attorney office.

If the child is still in school he can still be held accountable for the support. If they can't get anyone on the phone then go to the court house, visit the family division or go to your local child suport office, and ask for a mod for your support.

Another way is to contact bank authority and request them in writing application to stop the amount to given that girl for support .
