I was sued by my child's father for an overpayment of child support ($360.00). I then entered a counter claim for approximately $800.00 for a Con Edison Keyspan account he had in my name w/out my permission and never paid. I thought it was an open shut clear case but we allowed our case to be heard by an arbitrator in Brooklyn, NY, instead of the judge. He admitted in court that I had not lived @ the property since 2003 and that he maintained the bills until he moved but told the arbitrator it was my responsibility. I showed her documentation that I had requested the accounts to be closed but she still ruled in favor of him and dismissed my counterclaim. What does that mean? Can I still sue him for the money? Or does that mean I have to eat it and just pay it? I found out about the bill in late 2007. We went to court in June 2010. Please advise
Hi husslewoman,
As far as I can understand, you will still be able to sue your child's father. You should contact an attorney and he will guide you in this matter in a better way.
Take care

PLEASE HELP...marvin
Hi marvin!
Welcome to forums!
You can definitely sue the lawyer as well as your child's mother. You can get a judgment against your child's mother and garnish her wages. As far as i know, social security income and retirement benefits are exempt from garnishment.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Thanks for your reply,my other question would be about garnishing her SSA and SSD, as I was informed by a state social worker for chid support, "believe it or not" I was surprised, but also want to make sure that this is correct before I persue this case, also was wanting to know about attatching her assets, 4-wheelers,pick up,camper, ect... I don't mean to be a hard A-- but she has taken me to the cleanners for years,I just want back what is rightfully mine... THANKS AGAIN.. Marvin
just wondering, does this cost to ask questions and receive answers
Hi marvin,
As far as I know, social security income is exempt from garnishment. The lenders/creditors won't be able to garnish it.
Thanks,
Jerry
