Q: My son's mother is putting me on child support My son has lived with or been with me more! What should i do?
My son was 2 his mother and i agreed to call it off. He lived with her for a few months before living with me for years, up until kindergarten. He moved with his mom and his 3rd grade year came back to live with me. Including weekends, summer and holidays i have had my son more! I received notice of child support, she never shows to court, im told to not worry they cancelled her government benefits, then received notice again, 2 more times, and now i see i am supposed to pay 9 years back child support. I am in college and out of work, i am engaged and she is trying to ruin a good father, she has several kids and some she pays child support, then others the father has never been summoned for child support. I have no idea what to do? Can i have advice?
A: You’ve a lot going on. You should have hired a lawyer at 1st. Now, you’re going to have to probably be stuck with following the order in place.
