Legal Answers
16 Questions Answered
Q. How do you get the remaining amount of child support owed per court order that the SCU will not take out of check?
A: It is correct that SCU can only take a portion of the payor's income to pay for child support.

However, the Order should have also stated that the non-custodial parent must pay the balance via direct deposit or checks. So the attorney you spoke to is generally correct, you can file a petition for enforcement or for contempt.
Q. I am in New York, I pay my ex-wife spousal maintenance. She remarried do I have to continue to pay her maintenance.
A: I would have to see the exact language in the agreement. However, typically, once an ex-spouse re-marries, you no longer have to pay spousal maintenance.
Q. Can the mediator that mediated our divorce property settlement agreement later represent my spouse to file for our divom
A: Most likely the mediator has a conflict and cannot represent your spouse -- unless you waive the conflict, in writing.
