Question: What if I been paying child support directly to my ex wife Not through the state and I got letter saying I we a lot of money but I paid ex directly what is gonna happen

Answer: Unless your ex agrees to sign an affidavit stating that you paid the money directly to her, you will need to take action to prove you paid the child support and support it with documentation like cancelled checks.  It would be in your best interests to get some advice from a family law lawyer.  There are 3 programs in Arizona that you can use to get some inexpensive legal advice and guidance.  One is the Modest Means Program.  For a $75.00 fee, the Modest Means Program will arrange a one hour consult with an experienced attorney.  The telephone number is (866) 637-5341.
