Any help appreciated- Reply off post to Please "*" = "yahoo" for anti spam purposes There are too many variables involved for anyone here to give you direction. You need to get a NY attorney who knows the CS law in that state. You should be able to get legal advice over the phone for a consultation fee of around $50-100. Some of the issues a 1.) Who is currently caring for the children? 2.) What has happened to payments made before and after the death of the obligee? 3.) Is the CS going towards paying a non-TANF or TANF order? 4.) Are there any current arrears owed to the state or to the obligee's estate? 5.) What does the current order say about the death of the obligee or obligor? 6.) Who is the current legal guardian? 7.) Has the legal guardian taken any legal steps to continue the CS order? 8.) Has there been any crime committed by the legal guardian to cash CS checks made out to the deceased? 9.) What does the obligor need to do to get a copy of the death certificate? |

Thanks for your reply to the post, We will have to look into some kind of pre-paid legal services as there isn't an ability to pay on the part of the payer nor ability to travel due to his Illness. If you have any other suggestions regardin this please let me know..... |

If you have any other suggestions regardin this please let me know..... ====== (Disclaimer: I am not an attorney and this should not be construed as legal advice. This information is provided solely on my experience/research pertaining to family court.) Based on your woefully inadequate detail--He can file a request to appear telephonically. The court normally approves this for routine family cases. Further, he does not need an atty. to file a petition to have the support stopped. Contact the controlling court and ask for the appropriate pro se packet, fill out the forms per the instructions (requires service of interested parties), attach death cert and request to appear telephonically along with required fees. The court will then set a hearing date. NOTE: As Bob mentioned, if the CS is due the state, it will not be discontinued until the balance owed is paid. If that is the case, he needs to request an accounting. |

If you have any other suggestions regardin this please let me know..... Death of either parent does not terminate CS. A CP mother can die and the father's CS obligation passes to the mother's estate or to the children's new legal guardian. But when an NCP father dies his estate is required to continue CS payments even though he has no continuing income. In many states fathers are required to provide life insurance to guarantee future CS payments in the event of their death. A pre-paid lawyer is not going to understand the Family Law issues in this case. |
