Child Support Billing Errors and/or
Questionable Practices of Child Support Agencies
Would you please distribute this message widely to all interested individuals and groups:If you feel you have been billed for child support payments that you believe you do not owe, or you believe you have experienced a questionable practice by a child support agency in regard to child support payments, the National Family Justice Association (NFJA) wants to hear from you.
The National Family Justice Association (www.NFJA.org), a national nonprofit educational organization, is gathering nationwide information regarding child support billing errors and/or questionable practices of child support agencies.
Perhaps your credit report has been affected by the alleged child support arrearage or your driver's license or business license has been threatened with suspension. Perhaps your income tax refund has been intercepted or your bank account has been seized when you believe child support was not due. Or, perhaps you have been arrested or threatened with arrest due to what you believe is an error or questionable child support policy.
Maybe you believe your child support payment has been collected by the child support agency, is "stuck in the system," and has not been accurately distributed to the custodial parent.
If you are a custodial parent, perhaps you know that child support money has been paid into the child support agency by the noncustodial parent, but you believe that the collected child support is being held by the agency instead of being forwarded to the custodial parent and children.
There may be any number of scenarios in addition to the above. We want to hear your feedback.
If you have information that you feel would be of interest to NFJA regarding child support, we would like to hear from you also.
