Q: Can an ex wife ask the father to sign off on receiving child support if the father moves out of school district?
She pays me child support and we have 50/50 placement, 1 week with her and 1 week with me. Still live within 20 miles of each other but she wants me to sign off on her paying child support because we’re not in same school district. My kids school is only 15 minutes from where I currently live and are in high school with transportation back and forth. She told me to either sign off On child support or she’s taking me to court.
A: This does not make sense. Child support is not dependent on which school the children attend unless she is paying private school tuition as an offset or you are not going to take your court ordered periods of placement.
