Q: My grandson is moving to Florida with his dad from Indiana. His dad has 5 other kids in the house.
He wants to stop paying child support even tho Hunter’s never stayed with him longer than 2 weeks. I don’t think he’ll stay down there too long. If the judge orders payments to stop, how difficult will it be to get child support now that his dad moved from Kentucky to Florida?
A: If an Indiana court has ordered the father to pay child support, it would be up to that court to modify the support order, if that court finds that child support should be modified. In the mean time, the person to whom the support is payable can contact the Florida Department of Revenue to assist in collecting the child support. But to answer your question, if the Indiana court "orders payments to stop", the obligee (person to whom support was to be paid) won't be entitled to get ongoing child support.
