Q: My son has no custody or visitation of his son. He does pay court ordered child support in NC.
We learned today that the mother has moved the child out if state and not told the court or DSS. Is this legal and is my son still obligated to pay support?
A: Until a motion for modification of child support is filed, he will still owe child support. If she moves, this may eventually change the jurisdiction for child support. It does give your sonar opportunity to reopen the issue of visitation or custody, if she is acting in a manner that is not int he best interest of the children.
