Q: Can I fight this?
My ex husband has custody of our daughter but she lives with his mother full time and has since 2013. I quit paying child support 2013 to him and told him it was bc of this, now he is suing me for back child support. Is this something I could fight since she has never lived with him?
A: You made an unwise decision to stop paying child support. Your daughter has to eat, have clothes, and a place to live 24/7. You still owe support, as does your husband. You should immediately hire an experienced family law attorney in the county where your case is pending to help with this.
