Our situation is that my husbands son will be 21 years old soon. He is not in arrears on his support. It is garnished right out of his check weekly, and the support payments are sent directly to the custodial parent, and I know it just won't stop automatically when the child turns 21. I assume we have to file the paperwork with Family Court and show proof the child is 21 years old.
If we file the paperwork with the Family Court is there going to be a cost to us for doing this? And how far in advance do we need to do this? I also assume it will take awhile to get the signed paperwork back from the court, so we can give it to his employer and terminate his Income Execution. I just want to have everything ready so we don't have surprises waiting for us if we wait til right before he turns 21. Also, what happens if we do not have a copy of his birth certificate? Will the mother be requested to produce one, I know they have his birthdate on record at the Support Collection Unit where my husbands payments go through.
Thanks,
