Q: Family law
I’m a divorced mother of 2. Divorced in 2005-last order from a judge (2014) was for me to pay 50.00 a month. Arrears are 21.000, the real amount already paid amount is $ 7,000 I have the receipts. My children are now 26 and 22. I’ve supported my son for 3 years he’s graduating college in the spring (he resides with me). The Dept. of Revenue does not have an open case on me as it never went through the state. However, the court docs show arrears of 21.000. Anything I can do? This was a very bitter divorce...
Thank you.
A: You do not mention if you are paying anything now. If there is no open court case then you can just stop paying and see what happens. The court lost jurisdiction when your youngest emancipated.
A: It is best that you schedule a consultation to speak with an attorney who would be able to review the court documents. and advise you accordingly.
