Received a letter today from the Department of Justice, Division of Child Support, Child Attending School Team to tell me that I know longer have to pay child support for my child child that turned 18 since she didn't turn in the proper paperwork to say that she was a "child attending school". Of course, this will NOT change my child support amount since it specifies a monthly amount rather than a per child amount.

As for the "wondering".....

It says that I can ask for the enforcing agency to initiate a modification. Big change from when oldest daughter turned 18...you had to FILE for a modification.

Something I don't understand, to request a review of the suspension, the give you only three reasons of which you have to attach supporting documents:

1. The chid has met the requirements for a child attending school;

2. The written notice of the child's intent to attend or continue to attend school was received in a time manner; or

3. Written consent or proof of written consent was received in a timely manner.

Now...I understand the first two because in bold under that it says:

"Notice to Parties: A child support obligation that is suspended for failure to provide the required documents referenced above can be reinstated effective the date the Child Support Program receives written confirmation from the school that the child is enrolled and is a child attending school and receives proof that the written consent has been provided to the parent who is ordered to pay support."

Ok...I'm glad to see that they are requiring proof from the school of enrollment...but what is this "written consent"? At first I thought it was the parent who was paying support was consent to the continuation of support, but so...why would CSE need proof that it was sent to the parent who authorized it?

Any idea?
