I requested a consultation for an attorney to give me legal advice for enforcement of a Final Decree of Divorce for my disabled son. The order specifically states that the enforcement must be submitted to the Child Support Enforcement Program but my son is over 18 and is disabled. My ex husband is deceased but there are worker's compensation benefits being paid out as if he were alive. My son receives half of these benefits and the other half should be attached for arrears and interest that is owed to him from 2005-2022. My son receives these benefits because he is disabled. If he were not disabled, he would not receive the benefits after the age of 18. I had to hire an attorney to get the benefits he is currently receiving, but in order to comply with the Final court order, it must be submitted to the child support enforcement. They were trying to deny the service to him since he is over 18, but he is disabled and that is discrimination. I made an appointment with his secretary and she checked CLIO for conflict. There should be no conflict since it is a Final order. There are no negotiations after it is final other than the US Supreme Court and there is no order in Justia stating otherwise. I scheduled the appt and we had to Zoom because I was sick. It was 4/24/2024 at 2pm. The attorney advised me that *****'s stepmother was not liable for child support payments and **** was dead so he could not collect arrears and interest. I am aware that the obligation died with my ex but the arrears and interest do not. I am also aware that the enforcement office is next to the tax revenue office and that the office does attach wages to spouses filing jointly. Spouses are required to pay child support obligation for their husband's or wife's children with other people but he told me that they were not. If my son is receiving death benefits as a form of child support then arrears and interest should be attached for the other half to pay what is owed.
