When your employeer has received orders from the court to with hold pay for chid support they are given a start day and a date when the payment needs to reach the courts office.
If the employeer has been withholding earnings and not sending them into the court they can be held liable.
Go through your paystubs for when the earnings started being withheld and check on the due date.
You may need to make copies of your pay stubs and send them into the receiving child support court.
If you don't have your pay stubs get copies of them from your human resource department.

You can actually check the child support payments sent by your employer and received by the child support agency on line. the link below is to the New Mexico child support payment history. You will need to create an ID to access this information.
After you check your payment history through the New Mexico site, speak to your payroll girl and have her print you off a current earnings report that will detail the deductions for child support.
Compare the amounted deducted from your pay and the amount received by the child support division. You will then know if everything that has been deducted from your pay has been received by the child support division.
here's the link to the child support division

A similar situation happened to a client at my firm, in NYC. Basically, if you can meet with a payroll rep and go over the figures, then you should be able to ascertain who is at fault. If it is your employer, explain everything to them, including the fact that you face dire consequences. Speak with an attorney in Tenn. to see if you may have a case against your job. Speak with the NM authorities to see if you can switch the Child Support Enforcement agency from NM to Tenn,. to make it easier to collect. Again, as I am not an attorney, I can't give legal advice, so you best call an Tenn or NM attny. Good Luck. Sadly, if you could have arranged a payment schedule with the mother, and stuck to said schedule, this would have all been avoided. Am I nutz to think, that #1 I never want my kids to grow up without me in their lives from sun up to sun down and #2 if my wife and I were to split, I'd pay MORE than the "legal" amount of child support, AS ITS MY KIDS AND I WANT THE BEST FOR THEM. I hope to avoid these problems, by staying married and remaining in my childrens lives.

See this all the time. Get the boss to send a letter explaining what happened. You still owe the back child support andinterest tho.
If you haven't done a DNA on the kid do so immediately. In my local area they have proven 6 guys are not the father and got child support stopped.

If you have the pay stub showing when the payment was taken, make copies and forward them to the agency in NM that is handling this. Perhaps a payment got lost or something.

Well, i would call child support in NM and talk to them and tell them what happened and i hate to say it but my brother had a problem like this with his job and he ended up having to get a lawyer and take it to court just to get it all fixed. Good luck!
