CS enforcement unit not cooperating
One of my previous blogs stated that the judge that signed off on SO's divorce also granted him a reduction in child support since he is carrying his girls on his medical insurance. When he took the decree to CSEU, he was told it would go in effect soon and that it would most likely be retroactive back to Jan when insurance started. Happy news, right? Well, he called them yesterday to ask for the status and was told by another person that they are NOT going to change the amount since his original custody order didn't declare that he HAD to carry them on insurance. He was so ticked off. He called the judge's office today and spoke with his clerk. She advised him to have an attorney write a letter to CSEU requesting them to comply with the judge's order. His atty is on it but wow - how can they refuse a NY Supreme Court Judge's order? I am floored by this.

WOW! Someone in CSE has some
WOW! Someone in CSE has some brass beans because I can't imagine telling a judge no.
Exactly
I didn't even think that was possible.
I would call back and talk to
I would call back and talk to someone else, then go to a supervisor. That is crazy!
The problem appears to
The problem appears to perhaps be in the wording of the order. For the break-out add-ons of CS in NY the order must specify. From what you wrote the judge granted the request to adjust CS due to Dad now providing health insurance, BUT there is no order requiring Dad provide the insurance.
Fix the order, get the credit. There must be an order requiring Dad to be the one to provide the health care.
What a PITA. Hopefuly your SO will get this change and the adjustment will start. Once they have an order stating Dad is mandated to provide, the issue should cease.
Sure hope so
SO called me back and said something about the wording not being clear and the judge was going re-write the order...I didn't really get what he was saying - I'll find out more when I see him tonight.
