You should file a motion to recalculate the child support arrearage and set the matter for a hearing before the Judge or General Magistrate. At the hearing, you can then submit your proof of previous payments toward the arrearage and ask the court to issue you a credit for any overpayment.
Seeking Retroactive Child Support The parent who believes he or she is owed retroactive child support must file a written request, or petition which specifies the date the payments should go back to, and provides reasons which will justify the retroactive child support award.
