A: Thank you for your question. That sounds very frustrating. You need to consult an experienced family law attorney in the state where your child support order originates. If it is a NJ order then seek counsel in NJ. Also, consider that if you are still paying child support then your ex is receiving it. Therefore that jurisdiction must know where they are.

Many firms, including mine, offer free consultations. Your situation requires personalized attention and therefore you need to have a conversation with a professional.
