Your current state is Virginia
My case was closed with arrears still in place. My 2 kids are now adults, 21 and 20. Just was wondering if the case can be reopened because of the arrears that was in place when case was closed.
Yes, DHS can reopen your case to collect interest and arrears.
After fighting for jurisdiction of our divorce, and the courts closing down last year for coronavirus, my ex has has been uncooperative with my attorney in order to get our divorce before a judge and finalized. We’re currently headed to mediation. However, I just found out that he “remarried... Read more »
You should contact an attorney but generally speaking bigamy is actually a criminal offense under Texas law, although a defendant can escape conviction if they reasonably believed they were not already married when they entered their second marriage.
We got 50/50 and the temp order states child support and alimony for me to start paying and for both of us to take care of our own mortgages and bills. She has not made the mortgage payment and I haven’t pay for child support and alimony yet since I don’t have any court paperwork. Her lawyer is... Read more »
The Order will include the start date that the judge ordered the payments to start. Most temporary orders are entered by the Court within a relatively short period of time after the hearing occurs, from a few days to a month or so on average. If the other party was required to prepare the order... Read more »
want to pay spousal or child support for the 2 college kids. Now in my mid 50's, I have no income and we cannot afford divorce, as per multiple attorneys from previous consultations. About $100,000 equity in the house, $30,000 in 401K and he has $40,000 in separate personal account from... Read more »
I dont know if any of the lawyers you met with for consultation purposes were specialists, but presumably during your consultation[s], you discussed your employment history, your husbands current employment setting and your employment potential to determine what your husbands support obligation...

I have 6 children. I'm on child support for only one of them due to the mother lying to me about closing the case before the court date. I provide for all children and with this one child support case it's taking away from me providing for my other children as I used to. Does the fact... Read more »
The court can only consider other children if they live with you or if you have a court order on child support for the other children that you are currently paying.
What is my next step if my ex fills out the Motion To Set Aside Default form? She is in default from my supplemental petition for modification for timeshare and child support. (I assume she would need to get a lawyer at that point and I will no longer be able to self litigate effectively. The judge... Read more »
This is between your ex and the court. If he or she can present a good cause, the court could grant the default and the case moves on. There is not much you can do.
If she tells the judge not to take child support from me because she does not want it or need it will they listen or will they still press for child support?
When a child receives state assistance, the state will seek and enforce a child support order. What the mother wants or says to the judge is of no affect.
At my request, my mother is helping me to fill out the legal forms and file them online. Do I have to name her as a "non-lawyer" on the legal forms?
Does the form ask for that? If not, no.
Never married. Child’s father lives in different state. Does not help financially so I’m filing for child support. If I file will he have visitation rights in his state? He’s the non custodial parent , will I have to file for full custody of our child even considering he barely sees the child... Read more »
You need to file for both child support and custody.
My mother has been getting child support for me for years. My father still has quite a bit of back pay remaining. I no longer live with my mother, am over 18. She still has the card that the child support money is deposited on and is using it for her own needs. Even when I was living with her she... Read more »
I cannot tell you that it is impossible to do what you are asking; however, I can tell you that I have not seen it happen in the 20+ years that I have been practicing. MDHS is going to assume that your mother used her funds to support you during your minority; therefore, the arrearage amount is... Read more »
modified to his new local state? Will the GA CS order follow him to different states if he no longer resides in GA?
If the CP still lives in Georgia, the Georgia order remains in tact. The GA CS order can be enforced in the new state. the orders cannot be modified anywhere other than Georgia as long as the CP still lives in Georgia.
Can I file for PO in the pending child support for enforcement by contempt case?
Do I need to serve personally.?
Bcoz my ex is evading services. When filed as seperate case, judge dismissed for not able to serve him
Need a bit more information, but regardless your best option here to get an answer is to consult with an attorney not on this forum.
My ex has not seen my kids, going on 3 years. He also has not paid a penny in support. He owes about $45,000. He owns a business and does not give himself a paycheck. I supplied the court with his bank information, all addresses, and a list of assets and places he rents to store things. Why... Read more »
Your best course of action is to file a violation petition with the family court. The court can then put him in jail if they find he willfully failed to pay the support order and award you attorney fees for having had to bring the action. In regard to sole custody, it sounds as if you have sole... Read more »
If my ex and i presumably have a child, and she was married had the husband sign the birth certificate with out my knowledge, and ive been sending money to help support and I find out the child is is not mine would I be able to sue to get money that I sent for presumed child if i have records ?
Doubtful. It sounds like at this point you are sending her money out of the goodness of your heart and not pursuant to any order - in other words, the money you gave could be considered a gift. The law presumes that each party performs due diligence, and it doesn't sound like you took any... Read more »
I filed a supplemental petition to modify the parenting plan and child support to reflect the timeshare actually received. (She pays bare minimum and does not pick up her days.) I served her these motions and filed with the court, but she has not served me with the proper response. All she has... Read more »
Contact the judge's assistant and ask if you need to schedule a hearing or, alternatively, if the judge will rule on your supplemental petition without a hearing.
The daughter is 18 and married. The mom has never been on any government assistance. It’s for back child support. He was told until it’s completely paid he can keep going to jail if it’s not paid. That there was no time limit to serve for it to be dismissed.
If he pays the arrears, they will likely dismiss the case.
can they legally do this
Yes.
Kids & I lived since separating September 2020 in Arkansas

What is your question?
I recently file a motion to dismiss child support case. During the motion, the state and my ex-wife didn't show up. The judge then told me that, she will schedule hearing before approving my request to dismiss order. she moved it down to 5 months.; like late January. This is confusing. I want... Read more »
Sorry, but judges have exclusive control over scheduling snd their calendars.
I was laid off last year and just a month ago I just got another job and I'm behind on payments child support how can I get help for them not suspend my license because I need it for transportation to work. My other question is my ex open child support on 2009 in on 2012 my oldest daughter... Read more »
CSSD has a payback program so you can make payments on the arrears. You can also schedule a hearing for yourself on the issue of relief from getting your license suspended. I also recommend you seek a modification and for forgiveness of the debt incurred during the period your 12-year-old was... Read more »
