We are a full service divorce company that prepares, files and serves your divorce documents. This includes assisting you with child support and spousal support orders. We can prepare your motion or assist you in filing a Response if you have been served. We can help you during your divorce or even after your divorce (Post Judgment).
If you are going through a divorce, you can file a motion with the court and ask for spousal support or child support or both. At any time, while going through the divorce process, you can file a motion with the court. These motions are called Request For Orders. When you file a motion for child support or spousal support, a court date will be set. The orders that are made at the hearing will give you temporary orders until time of the final judgment in the divorce case.
Any thing done after your divorce has been finalized in called “Post Judgment” which simply means “after the judgment”. When you file a motion to modify spousal support or child support there normally has to be some “change in circumstances” for the court to order a modification of support. Normally if one of the parties loses a job or is now making more money is justification to request a modification of support. It is best to call our office so we can discuss if a modification is appropriate.
If you were served a motion or request for order, you can file a Response. A Response is your opportunity to tell the judge your side of the story. Their are specific rules on filing a Response related to filing, service and due dates. Don’t wait too long before calling us as it does take a few days to prepare your declaration and file them with the court.
Today I wanted to talk to you about how to terminate a child support order. I had a call over the weekend from a gentleman who needed to terminate child support so he didn’t have any overpayment of chils support when his child turned 18.
So let’s discuss how you go about getting the court to sign a termination of child support order. To get the court to sign a termination of child support order you have to do one of a few things. The form you’re going to use his FL – 195 income withholding order. At the top of the withholding order you will notice that there is a termination of child support box at the top. That’s the box you will use to terminate child support. This is the same form that was used when child support was ordered and will be the same form you use to submit to the court to get the judge to sign to terminate child support as well.
Here’s what we recommend you do. Because the income withholding order will need to be signed by the judge you’ll either need to get a hearing date set so you can go into court to have the judge sign the order or you can attempt to mail a letter to the clerk with the evidence of a birth certificate the judgment and perhaps even a diploma of the child to show he is 18 in order to get them to sign the judgment.
In you want to send a letter to the clerk, what you need to do is to mail a letter to the actual department your case is in, instead of just mailing to the Court. What you would do then is mail letter to the clerk explaining the circumstances along with a copy of the judgment that shows the order regarding when child support can be terminated. Then you can attach a copy of your child’s birth certificates so they can determine that your child is in fact 18 and a copy of the high school diploma if it was part of the judgment agreement.
If that does not work, the last thing you can do is file a request for order with the court. You can file a motion with the court indicating you would like the termination of child support order signed and go to the hearing date and explain the circumstances to the judge and hope that he signs the termination of child support at the hearing itself.
If you have any more questions about how to terminate a child support order or need assistance in doing so please give us a call if you happy to help you.
