i have a 17 yrs old daughter that has been living with me since she was 8 yrs old and her mom is asking for child support since she born......what can i do to get her to pay me child support, we went to court but she said my daughter was living with her and the judge didn’t do anything, even when my daughter told them she was living with me and she had no contact with her mom and sisters, her mom dont even care about to see or send message to her?
A: If your daughter has been living with you and the court order gives the mother the exclusive right to designate the daughter’s residence, then you could ask the court for a modification of the old order.
