Sometimes parties have paid their child support directly between one another for a short period of time prior to a wage attachment starting or due to employment changes. Consequently, the Cuyahoga Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) is showing an arrearage of child support that is inaccurate. You need a Court order to correct this. If both parties are agreeable and no monies are due the Department of Job and Family Services, an agreed motion to correct arrearages can be filed.

Also, a statement needs to be included as to whether or not the affiant (person signing or giving the affidavit) was receiving any public assistance during the time period in question. An affidavit is a written statement of fact that acts as evidence because it is sworn to and subjects the affiant to the perjury laws of the State of Ohio. The affiant signs the document that he/she is swearing to in front of a notary. There will be two of these affidavits in your motion. American LegalNet, Inc. www.FormsWorkflow.com
