My story is pretty much the same. My husband owed about 26,000 to his daughter. The first year we were married all of our state and federal refunds were sent to her. At first I was a very very upset. Then we finally discussed it, because I knew he had a daughter, but I did not know that he was that far behind. So anyway, to make a long story short, it took us 7 years of having our state and federal refunds to pay all of that money to his daughter. She definitely deserved it and now it is all paid off. My question is, if anybody can direct me in the right way, my question is, now that his arrearages are all paid off, there is actually a difference in our favor. She received our federal refund of about 6,000 and there was only 4,900 and some change owed on his arrearages. Does anyone know if we get that money back or what? I am sorry to hear about everyone elses child support problems, that is a shame when a man can't step up to his responsibilities, they are definitely cowards and selfish. Any help from anyone would be great!
Thanks,
Debbie
