Q: Can a married military member file CS on their spouse who’s also a military member. Wife lives in AL, husband in FL?
They are still married, neither has filed for legal separation or divorce. They have 2 kids wife is Army, husband is Airforce.. wife is stationed in Enterprise Alabama but filed from Montgomery county. Husband stationed in Florida. the father pays half of daycare and provides extra money for food, clothing, utilities etc.?
A:
Child support can always be requested, even if the parents are still married. But it sounds like the jurisdiction on this case may be incorrect as child support must be filed where the paying parent lives, not where the children live. An attorney should be consulted to see if the case can be dismissed for incorrect jurisdiction and refiled in Florida.
Good luck.
