Husband has not supported her for 5 yrs and I'm not seeking child support but ready for divorce

A: I agree with my colleagues. You can file now if you want to, but child support isn’t waived. Or you can wait until the child is 18 and it shouldn’t be an issue in the divorce. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
