This is rather long, but someone with knowledge of legal actions, please help me.We were paying $400 a month in child support for my stepdaughter. Her mother abandoned her 2 years ago with a drug dealer, and split, no contact with her in 2 years now. When my husband found out, he went and got her, and she's been with us ever since. We hired a lawyer last year in Jan. to get custody of her. They put an add in the paper to try to contact the mother and let her know we are taking legal action. No response from her.For the last 2 years, they have still been taking the child support out of my husband's checks, because the papers have not been changed yet. My husband recently changed jobs, so they were not able to deduct the child support any longer, because they were not aware of where he was working. This was a releif. Well, when we got our income tax in this year, they deducted over $2,000 dollars from it for the back child support we owed, even though we have had this girl almost 2 years
