If I received public assistance and my ex-spouse pays criminal restitution as part of his criminal nonsupport probation, will the government keep some of the restitution?
Maybe. Criminal restitution in criminal non-support cases is paid to the child support clearinghouse in Phoenix and is applied as any other child support payment would be applied. If some of the child support arrearages in the civil case are assigned to the state because you have received public assistance in the past, then some of the money paid as restitution may go to the government to reimburse the costs of public assistance that you already received. If you have questions regarding precisely how a payment will be or has been distributed, please contact the Child Support Division at (928) 425-4464 or 1-(800) 717-2629.
