My question involves child support in the State of: Maryland
My ex and I went to court in March to finalize child support/visitation. He requested and was granted that beginning in April, child support be taken from me, via wage garnishment through the state support enforcement agency. May comes around, and because he's procrastinated getting the paperwork together, still no letter, no garnishment. Over the course of the last week, he e-mailed me about March's child support. After digging, I realize that I have not paid it, so I tell him, very politely, that I'm sorry, and as soon as I have an account number through the state, that I WILL send it to them to be credited to my account. This is, evidently, unacceptable to him. He wants it paid directly to him, and I, because of various missunderstandings throughout our separation/divorce, would prefer to have it documented through the state. He is now insisting that the state agency WILL NOT accept March's child support, and is threatening me with court. I have not denied that I owe him, simply stated that I want it documented with the proper agency, so there are no issues on down the road. Am I completely wrong in this?
