Child Support Payment Discrepancy

Summary

Miguel Suarez received a letter from Social Security in September 2023 stating that child support withholding would stop due to a court order. However, he later received a notice from Florida Child Support claiming he owes $525. Attempts to contact them have been unsuccessful. He should request a copy of the stop withholding order from the court, write a formal letter to Florida Child Support, and seek legal advice from a Florida-based legal aid organization.

Now a get a letter from child support Florida that I owe $*.* with no explanation I try calling but I get a recording and call ends
I'm sorry to hear about your confusion, ****. To clarify, did you receive any official documents about the stop withholding order from the court in Florida?
Only the letter from S.S.
I understand your situation, ****. It seems like there might be a miscommunication between the agencies. Here are some steps you can take:
- Request a copy of the stop withholding order from the court.
- Write a formal letter to Florida Child Support detailing the situation and including the letter from S.S.
- Seek legal advice locally if necessary.
Can you tell me which city you're in, ****? I can then provide you with relevant legal resources.

I see, ****. In your case, you might want to consider reaching out to a local Legal Aid organization. In Hammond, Indiana, there's the Indiana Legal Services, Inc. They can provide legal assistance and help you navigate this situation.
I went to legal aid they said they couldn't help me because they only deal in Indiana law
I see. You may need to consult with a Florida-based legal aid organization, as they'll be more familiar with Florida law. Please check with Florida Rural Legal Services or Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County.
Thank you I will try that
I'm glad I could assist, ****. Please don't hesitate to return if you need any further legal information. Good luck with your case!
Thank you
Great! Please feel free to return anytime if you have more questions or need further assistance. Good luck with your case, ****.
