two kids currently 16 and 14... he left 2008,never paid, stated having 50/50 verbal custody arrangement in 2012.
A: No, you can't get back support. You need to retain counsel to represent you in the divorce so that these issues are addressed there.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: I agree with my colleague. You will not be able to get back support. However, you should consult with an attorney going forward so that things are handled properly and this doesn't happen again in the future. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
A: You will only be entitled to child support going forward once an order is issued. You will not be able to obtain child support from the date that he left.
