If my ex moves out of state, does she need to issue a new court order for the wage assignment to have her address changed?
I believe she may do this, since she does not want to know her address. Am I liable for back payments, if she does not change her address and my company keeps sending her checks to her old address? Am I liable if she claims she didn’t receive payments? The courts order says my company is liable if they fail to withhold the payment from my check. I assume they are liable, not me if she fails to change her address, and have the checks sent to her place.

Is the support Order being enforced by a child support enforcement agency? If so, they will obtain her new address (and, if appropriate, keep it confidential). Once you company withholds the support and sends it on to her, at her last know address and/or to a support enforcement agency, you will get credit for the payment. The person who is liable once the funds are sent to her is her.
