Maumelle, AR asked in Child Support for Arkansas

Q: If the mother is threatening to try to raise child support, but she just lost custody of her two little ones, can she?

She just went to court and lost custody of her two youngest children to her husband due to not passing urine or hair folicle test, and is now threatening to take me to court to raise my child support, can she do that?

A: If the two children you're talking about are not your children, these issues are probably not related.

Are there other kids which you pay her support for? A change in a support obligation requires a material change in circumstances. Without knowing more, I cannot tell you whether she has grounds to try and get your support obligation increased.
