Queens, NY asked in Child Support and Family Law for New York

Q: My ex said A child support case got entered in April of 2020. How is that possible when I don’t live in his state?

I use to live in NY. Moved with my ex into his moms house in Missouri. I got Foodstamp’s to feed my kids. Put my ex on child support in 2015. I moved to Georgia. Had to get Foodstamp’s again. They told my ex an order was entered in April of 2020 and I told them he made $100,000 a year. We were broken up and I never told anybody that? So is my ex lying to get me to sign the affidavit of credit for child support? I’m so confused?

A: If you received any type of public assistance, the agency that paid that support could have brought an action against your ex. To know what is going on you should ask for a copy of any court orders. You should also file for child support or child support collection in the state you currently live in.
