Q: If the mother lets the child live with father. is there a way to stop cs without court? We both live in different states

We got divorced in Alabama but now she lives in Georgia and I in Florida. My daughter just moved in with me 2 weeks ago. She is 17 years old and about to graduate school early. I need the support so i can help her go to collage. I do not even want support from mother its just what i pay would help if I didn't have to.

A: Hello, these heat way to stop child support is through court approval. It is for your protection to do so, otherwise you risk still having to pay the last two years of child support. Arrears will build and it is easier if you go to court now to stop it. The other issue you have is that all three of you have now left Alabama. Depending on when you left, you would need to file your modification of custody and child support in Florida since that is where the child is located. You need to seek counsel in Florida and/or ask this question in the Florida section of this website to get a better answer from someone licensed to practice there. Best of luck!
