His immigration status should not affect the distribution in the divorce, although you can try to make such a claim. I don’t believe it will get you very far though. Any questions specific to his status should be directed to an immigration attorney.

They are still valid, though they may not address your current situation. If your payments are going trough Child Support Enforcement, they can gather the information needed to reevaluate support.

Yes, you still have to pay any arrearage that has accrued. Child support cannot be forgiven once it has vested; however, you may be able to receive credits against the arrearage, depending on the circumstances. Whether you are entitled to credits is entirely up to the Court.
As child of which the arrears were accumulated for, how can i obtain a new minute order, directing pauments to me and my sister? No will or assets from deceased mother

I believe child support ceases upon his death. It's your mom to whom he owed the support, not you. In fact, many states require the payor to obtain life insurance to cover the projected child support in case the payor dies before its paid.

Yes. Unless you are an attorney yourself or have legal experience with a relatively simple matter, hiring someone with the education, training, and experience to handle a matter usually produces a more favorable outcome than attempting to do it yourself. Unfortunately, attorneys do cost money.... Read more »
what is the law for breach of contract for family matter when it comes to his children's obligations?
answered on Sep 28, 2022
An award of attorney's fees is an available remedy when filing a motion to enforce a support obligation and for contempt of a court order requiring the payment. The decision to award fees, and how much, is in the discretion of the judge.

Who pays child support currently is unrelated to whether arrears are owed.
Be aware the current child support remains in effect until you go to Court to modify it. At that point, child support is determined by a calculation.
I want to file in the federal courts against ( I dont know where to start) that the request for me to pay child support has and continues to violate my first amendment protections of the constitution. I have been doing as much of the hard work needed and I am wanting to begin this process

Interstate jurisdictional issues can be tricky. Jurisdiction is most likely where he is now since you both moved out of MO. You can always file for child support where he is. However, Colorado jurisdiction it may depend on whether he has any contacts with Colorado and what those are.

Child support will be recalculated based on income and other factors. I can't say whether you will or will not owe child support.
is there a form that cam just be filled out and signed by judge?

There isn't one form. There are 6 different documents that need to be filed in order For this to be done correctly. You definitely want to hire an attorney to handle this, because if it is not done correctly, it could be more costly later o

answered on Sep 23, 2022
The mother of your child cannot force your wife to pay child support in Florida, whether the mother sues in Florida, Puerto Rico, or elsewhere. Child support would be your obligation, not that of your wife. If your ex does file for child support, you and your wife probably should not own property... Read more »

Unless your ex is self employed, the best thing that you can do is to ask for an income deduction order, which is your right under the law. With that order the child support would be deducted directly from his pay check by the state and then forwarded to you. Speak with a local family lawyer for... Read more »

You must deal directly with the court that issued the child support order. File a motion and explain your situation. Timesharing and child support are not directly related, meaning if one parent withholds the child that is not a reason to not pay child support. You are raising complicated issues... Read more »
