Don’t do that. It could still count towards arrears, or it could mess things up with the child support office.
I was only suggesting it since they don’t owe anything.

Until the state fixes it, they could still take the extra out later.

Doesn’t the state fix these things if you just call them and let them know?

It’s never that easy with the government. They will want to handle it themselves.

Well, she’s already setting it aside.

I go through child support services, and they do require proof if payments were made directly. But it’s easy for them since they just enforce the payments.
Does he owe arrears?
Are you signed up with the state child support program through your local office? If so, you might have a caseworker you can call. Also, the system is set to not overpay. If he changed jobs, maybe his new job pays bi-weekly now, so you got a double payment this time.
Why are you so stressed? Just save the extra in case it’s late next time.
Set it aside for now. They may not take out the next payment because of this.

Don’t stress, just talk to your attorney. They’ll give you the best advice.

Good advice.
You already told the state, so if they don’t know why it happened, then it’s on them. Maybe it’s just extra for your kids now!

The only problem is if they correct it later, the next few payments might be smaller than expected.
Just hold onto the extra, don’t spend it until you’re sure, and don’t give it to him directly. Let the agency handle it.
