Q: My husband recently got joint custody with him being the domicile parent, how does he go about ending thechild support?
A: As the domiciliary parent, you owe him. You have a very short period to object to this. Hire a custody lawyer immediately.
A:
Pleading requirements differ from state to state, but in general your answer is a court order terminating the support obligation. The court that issued the orders changing custody can issue the order terminating the support as well, as they have jurisdiction over the matter.
Court resources can often assist with the preparation and filing the correct court documents to terminate the order. He can also open up a case with the state child support services office in your area - every state has a different name for this organization - and they can assist with termination of his support obligation as well as obtaining an order from the other parent.
