Answer:

As an experienced New York Divorce Attorney my recommendation is the following.  Simply writing to the Support Collection Unit does not stop the accrual of arrears or their administrative obligations regarding the enforcement of arrears.  The best avenue for someone in this situation is to immediately file a petition seeking a downward modification.

Are you worried about arrears payment’s?  If so, contact the experienced New York Divorce Attorney Jean Mahserjian.
