how do i collect child support overpayment due to the agent error in ga?

Question

i have two cases with child support one case got a raise and the case worker took it upon her self and gave the other case the same raise then she sent me a letter stating i was behind. i got a copy of my payment history from her found out i had over paid by 2000.00 dollars she admitted it to be her error but she has not corrected it . they still have me oweing money every time i call i get the run around she told me i would have to sue the mother to get the money back. . one case has alright stopped because the child is 18 and the other is about to stop because we had a dna test and the child is not mine so the mother went and stopped the case. they should send them a letter and tell them they were overpaid and set up a plan to get my money back.or either the office should be made to pay me back my money since they made the mistake. i had to get a court order to have the test done anyway.so what can i do

Answer 1

You could try small claims court first, which won't cost you a lawyer, if you can document what you just told us.

Answer 2

you will never get that money back, they will simply adjust the case to reflect the payment... thats all. as for the case of where the child is not yours, todays courts require a DNA test before child support begins, or the child support is ordered despite the results if you were married at the time.

depends. contact your local Legal Aid Office. they are in every state and most counties. ask your county court clerk or your states Bar Assoc for the number.
