Maybe it's back support owed when he was a ward of the state. The state charges parents for taking care of their children.

I'm not clear on all of the facts, obviously you asked something earlier, but delinquent amounts owing are delinquent amounts owing, regardless of the current facts. Let's say you owe a credit card company some money from several years ago and were put on a payment plan through a collection agency. Now you receive notice that the credit card company has gone out of business and some other company has taken them over. Does this mean you no longer owe the debt? No. You still owe the debt, just to a different company now. The same is true of child support. Just because your son is now over the age of 18, if you did not pay all of the money you owed in child support before he turned 18, you will still be responsible to pay all of those amounts until they are paid in full.

You still have to pay the support no matter what, whether he was ward of the State or not. It's not up to the State to support your kids whether they have them or not. They will make you pay for everything until that child is 18 years of age. If you owe back support they will garnish your paycheck and keep your tax refunds until back support is paid. There is no way out of it.......

Back child support, it happens to a lot of people. Even if he did live with you, you still may have to pay for those years if you didn't officially have custody of him. As far as the court is concerned you are still obligated to pay because he wasn't supposed to be living with you (if that's the situation). You have to pay the other parent back (reimburse them) for what you didn't pay years ago. Sucks huh?

GO for a ruling in writing in person, and ask to see statues and get a copy. It is possible that certain laws are applicable. It is also possible someone really has shod all over you so you'll have to sue to government for misuse of power and misapplication causing hardship. I;d see a therapist immediate and really lay it on how scared it is for you to have so little money now. If you are having trouble sleeping , nervous, etc say it to the therapist on the record. Keep attending therapy. If it comes down that you were tight, you will have suffered personal injury as a result of their error and can sue for damages.

well....it looks like they didn't know that your son was in your custody. That'll be hard to prove....even with decent documentation.
As far as they see it, you didn't pay support from the age of 16 to 18. Better call the probate to get that fixed.

You still owe the money.
