Q: If i agreed to terminate child support and now the father is not helping with anything can I refile?
The father of my child and I had gotten back together trying to work things out, we filed an "agreed entry" with the courts stating that we agree to do what's best for the child and he would pay zero support. We did not work out we are no longer together and he is not doing whats best for the child or helping with any of her expenses. Can I refile or am I just kind of stuck without options?
A: You can always refile, and then the financial situation will be reviewed based on current financial circumstances. Check with the child support enforcement agency, or use the Find a lawyer tab to retain a local family law attorney.
A: I agree with the other answer & add that if it has been 3 years since you dismissed support, CSEA will review at no vharge to you.
