I paid the support to the court house and they sent her the check. Now she says she didn't get it or lost it or something.

They will have it on file and be able to check if it has been cashed yet. They will know if SHE cashed it or if some one else did OR if it was lost. Have no fear you won't have to double pay.

The court will have to investigate the matter.If they find she did indeed get the check then case closed though they may charge her for lying to the court. If she is being honest about the whole thing the court will be able to find out what happen to the check. Either way, you will not have to pay again (unless the check bounced)

Contact the court. Sometimes things do get messed up but you need to call and straighten it out. If there is no proof that you paid, she certainly can and probably will come after you. Do you have your canceled checks or can you get them from your bank? If you paid cash, you should have a receipt.

It's up to her to contact the court and prove she didn't get the check. If it truly is lost, after a certain amount of time they can stop payment on the original check and issue her a new one. If she did receive it and cashed it, the bank will have record of it.

she can claim what she wants, but the courthouse would have the record of recieving it or you will have the cancelled check.
unless you didnt pay it.
dont worry about it, just keep your cancelled checks and all records of it being paid. and if you havent so far, you will now, because if there is no proof or the court doesnt have a record of it being recieved, you will have to pay it.... again.
here are some links; just click on your state, and find the subject (child support, visitation, or whatever) you need.

It's good that you are going through the court, they will be able to trace it back and see if she has cashed the check. Don't fret, and let her try to go after the child support.

If you have proof of payment meaning copies of all the money you gave the courts. When she takes you to court show the courts this.

once you can prove the check was cashed, you are not liable. if you can not they can make you cancel that check and write another. you need to clarify this with the bank and the court.
it is the court's responsibility once the check was cashed.

She can always go after it, but the court should have a record of your payment.

Maybe she should be a little more responsible when it comes to her finances ... either that or give the court house a call to confirm they received your payment ... !
