1 Lawyer Answer

A: You should immediately file a motion to modify child support to zero, or even to have the mother pay you child support.

Beyond that, at the hearing on 11/28/18, you should ask for an equitable offset and a refund because the mother was getting child support even though you had the child or children in a different state.

I am out of the office today, but I will be back on Tuesday at 619-515-9900.
