My oldest child has turned 18 and I still have 2 yrs to pay on my other. Florida child support enforcement agency has advised me that I DO NOT GET A DEDUCTION IN CHILD SUPPORT. I have gone into the local office (you cannot call and speak with anyone) and they tell me that there is nothing that they can do. So the next thing I get a letter stating that they are garnishing my wages. I have never missed a payment. I don't know what to do. It probably would not be so bad but their mother moved 600 mi away so I don't even get to see my girls. And when I call they are not in or don't feel like talking. Oh and my ex has not worked in 13 years, since the divorce. Where do I go?:confused:

You need to see a lawyer right away. Since the situation has changed and one child is emancipated then you can have the order modified. In some states according to other posts on this board child support continues till a child reaches 21. Again check what applies to your state. Recent laws have changed in many places and if a parent isn't working then the courts can adjust for it or take a new sposes income as part of the ex's income and calculate it that way.
Hope that helps..
As far as attatching your wages that's a comon practice no matter how good you have been. Many NCP's are treated like criminals from the get go. It may be possible to modify that also but if your not hurt by it then at least you know its being paid.

Unless the 18 year old is in college normally at 18 the child support will end, but you may have to make a motion in court to get the support order modified.
