my son receives only 8% child support instead of the nys law of 17%

[esther]

My court case was dismiss on march 22, 2010 for an upward modification.
I do not have a lawyer. In the petition, the child enforcement unit wrote that since the emancipation of one child in May 2009, child support was not recalculated to adjust for one child of 17%. I had the child support split in 2006 of the 25%, half went to daughter (full-time college student) in florida and the other half went to my son in NY. Now there is a mathematical error.
My son is now really receiving 8% and not 17%. Does this not justify...an change in circumstance. Since the NYS child support mandates 17% for one child. Can you shed some light on this. Should I refile or dispute the case? thank you

 

[army judge]

You're being penalized for not notifying them that a child was emancipated last May.

You can always refile.

But, why not ask someone to explain it to you?

Tell them you don't understand, and just want to know why it was reduced.

The child in college has affected the support payments.

They want their money back.

They cut it in half for the next 10-11 months until they recoup what you received since May of '09.
