When my ex-wife and I separated/divorced we lived in AZ. After it was final I moved to North Carolina. Our child support agreement is through the state of AZ. She has recently moved to Phily. What happens to the court order? Do I need to file and start the process over in Phily, or does it automatically carry over from AZ to Phily?
When we initially filed for child support, we agreed that we would drop the back child support and add on to the minimum monthly payments instead. Now he is wanting to back out of the add-on and claim that the add-on was for a different reason that is no longer an issue. Can I go back and file for the back child support that was never paid, even though it was agreed to be dropped at the time?
What can I do about having a court order issued to provide medical insurance of my child when I can’t afford to pay the premium?
I am a mother of two 12 and 7, both boys. I have had to carry insurance and everything to daycare even the few hours he was around. Here I am after 12 years I finally got brave enough to file. But, I finally got a letter to got to court within the week and I am nervous as hell. I cant afford an attorney and don’t even know what to expect. What does this mean for him to be at court?
My father never paid child support for me or my brother. We are both adults now and wonder if he can be sued?
My husband’s son lives with his mother in Tennessee and we reside in Minnesota. His son is graduating from highschool one year early – age 17 -. If he moves out of his mother’s home and goes to college, are we responsible to continue to pay her child support until his 18th birthday.
My ex husband has not made an attempt to see our son who is now 9 for 7 years now. He is paying child support only because I filed with the Department of Revenue and they garnish it right out of his check. My ex is now threatening me that if I don’t stop the Department of Revenue from garnishing his wages, he will take me to court to fight for visitation. What can I do to prevent this from happening? I couldn’t force or make him want to be a father to our son, but financially I could. What are my rights?
The Non-Custodial Parent of my 3 children all of which are his has motioned for a decrease in the court ordered child support due to the our oldest child turning 18 years of age. I am literally between a rock and a hard place as Before he issued the motion for a decrease and before the court has even had a chance to hear the case for a decrease he has taken it upon himself to modify the court ordered child support by decreasing the child support by 1/3. He has continually no showed in court when I did have an attorney. I want to go to court for an increase in child support as he placed his other children all of which are over the age of 27 in private schools and medical schools but won’t help Financially for my children to have a better life.
My mother divorced my father due to an abusive relationship, they then went into a custody battle, where he had money and she did not, so he had a lawyer, while she was stuck defending herself. They agreed to take two each, and he got it, where she had to pay child support for the two he had, but he did not have to pay anything for the two she had. Well due to financial problems, she took the two she had and moved away. Fourteen years have passed, without her paying any child support. If the subject was brought up, would she have to pay for all the back owed child support, or would the statue of limitations protect her from owing that?
My son will be 18 years old this July 2007 and he will not graduate till June 2008. My understanding is that I have to pay child support till he gradates June 2008.
