Q: always been active including child support. mom up and moves without child out of state. do I still have to pay cs.
daughter is now 11. attending the school in which I teach. i actually decided to "take" her in December when mother was evicted and I watched her grades suffer. she's too irresponsible. even her family agrees it was the best move. new school year. she moved to sc or nc I still don't know for sure. she's still with me. i want sole custody. I'm struggling paying child support for a child that lives with me. I'm also afraid she'll take my daughter up there with her in retaliation. she has two smaller sisters up there too. however my daughter doesn't want to go. more reason for a judge to rule in her favor. advice?

A: You need to discuss your situation with a family law attorney to file for custody immediately. She can take her and move if she gives you 30 days notice. If you want your child to stay with you, you will have to file a case as soon as possible.

A: I agree with my colleague. You need to consult with an attorney right away who can help you plan the proper course of action to take custody of the child. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
A: Until you receive an order of custody, your child support under the prior order will continue to accrue. As my colleagues advised, you need to file a petition for custody immediately if you want to ensure your daughter stays with you.
