COURT SHOULD NOT HAVE GIVEN HUSBAND CREDIT FOR HIGHER CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS MADE BEFORE THE LOWER FINAL CHILD SUPPORT AWARD UPON DIVORCE.

The Third Department, in this divorce action, determined that Supreme Court’s attempt to give the husband credit for the difference between the higher child support payments imposed prior to the divorce and the lower payments ordered in the final child support award was error:

… [T]he temporary support payments already made by the husband pursuant to the pendente lite order exceeded the retroactive support obligation set forth by Supreme Court. Absent any statutory authority for recoupment of overpayments of child support and given the “‘strong public policy against restitution or recoupment of [such] overpayments'” … , we conclude that Supreme Court erred in crediting the husband for the temporary child support payments that he made in excess of what he was required to pay under the final child support award … . Sprole v Sprole, 2016 NY Slip Op 08911, 3rd Dept 12-29-16
