Hi Robert,
You may want to consult your state's laws on that, we are not experts on family law and as such we really could not say.

I had roughly 75% of my two year back pay check withheld to cover child support payments. I was to receive $21,000, actually got $8,000, and the remaining $12,000+ is God knows where. However, throughout that two year period I never stopped paying my child support and am not currently behind. Any idea if this withheld amount will be returned to me? The $12,000 that's been held back is a larger amount than I have left to pay before my son turns 18. Also, the state will be garnishing the remaining child support payments from my monthly disability check. This situation doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Hi Timothy,

I am so sorry to hear that. You may want to speak with a representative from the SSA about your situation. You can call toll free here: 1-800-772-1213

Best Wishes,
Eric

Hi Christy,
Generally the disability lawyer would receive his fees directly from the SSA.
