children emancipated.  requested settlement amount.  looking for assistance in making the Oklahoma Child Support Enforcement Agency live up to their agreement.  Attorney said settle.  we settled!  Now the child support agency has refigured the amounts and took yet another income tax refund ... with NO judgment!
could someone help us find an attorney who will not want to "settle" again!  How can child support make an agreement, take our payments IN FULL and then go back for another bite at the apple?  Also sad to note that all funds we paid have not made it to the custodial parent and when we took issue with this, the accounting was re-done yet again.  The paperwork has increased the amount due to account for the IRS payment that WAS NOT part of the original deal!!! 
so angry and upset ... 5 years of this constant playing around with figures.  Judge said "they have HUGE bookkeeping issues".  DA said "we have our $12000 now you have to pay the custodial parent??!!
am interested in suing and holding agency accountable.  cannot find an attorney in oklahoma that will bring suit against agency.
can you give insight or assistance?
much thanks

I would stop dealing with child support and file child support paperwork in family court. You can do this yourself. Ask for modification of child support to terminate as child is emancipated and father is paid in full. Get a court date, and have a judge zero is out, close case with an ending date. CSE will have to follow judges ruling. Have judge write in order, all arrears are to be zero and father does not owe any further amount.

Then your ncp should be fighting to get the money. Was the ncp on any state assistance at any point. Sometimes they take child support for that.

Taxes, have all of your jobs take out the most, claim zero so you have to pay a little. Better then paying ex.
