MOTHER ALLEGED SHE MADE PAYMENTS TO THIRD PARTIES IN THIS SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDING; FATHER SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ORDERED TO REIMBURSE MOTHER WITHOUT PROOF THE PAYMENTS WERE IN FACT MADE BY MOTHER (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Family Court, determined, in this support proceeding, father’s objections should have been granted. Although mother alleged she made payments to third parties, she presented no proof of the payments. Therefore mother did not prove father owed those amounts to her:

At a support violation hearing, the petitioner has the initial burden of presenting prima facie evidence of nonpayment of child support … . Here, the father’s concession of failure to pay child support constituted prima facie evidence of a violation … . However, a party seeking reimbursement must show that he or she actually paid the sums for which reimbursement is sought  … . Since the amount of child support arrears awarded included amounts that the mother claimed to have paid to third parties, and the father did not concede those amounts, the mother was not entitled to a money judgment in the absence of proof that she paid the subject sums, which would demonstrate that the father was indebted to her for those expenses … . Matter of Barletta v Faden, 2019 NY Slip Op 08998, Second Dept 12-18-19
