freeze assets order

[erin6150]

My ex texted me recently that they froze his accounts to collect for arrears. Thank goodness because I knew he was hiding money as Im begging for payments so I can bring our 2 children to the dentist etc etc. My question is will I see any of the frozen assets? How much of it do they give to me for his arrears? Also when can i plan on seeing anything, even a small amount of it? Do they disburse in payments or a lump sum?

Thank you

Re: freeze assets order

I wish to inform you that you can receive money. Rules of court and laws of your state will govern release of assets. In this regard you can have the money released from authorities by informing that money must be transferred to you because money belongs to arrears of child support amount due to you. If money is not released then court order for release may be sought.

You don't say where you are located, but different jurisdictions have different holding requirements prior to disbursing assets or funds seized to satisfy a judgment or child support arrears. The holding period varies according to local statutes, in order to allow the person from whom the assets/funds were seized to file a claim with the courts that the funds didn't belong to them or that they should have been legally protected from seizure.

The best source of information with regard to how long you would need to wait before receiving any/all of these funds would be the agency that executed the bank levy on your behalf. Depending on the process, you could be looking at weeks, months, or years before seeing the money.
