Q: My x was ordered to pay 200 cs for our 2 kids that are now grown. he just came into millions.can I sue him for more now
He owes me 50000 back child support and I think it should be double because my family and I raised them he never even paid the 200 until he got unemployment. He is getting a big inheritance and the trustee is cutting a check to the state. I want to add some costs on there like day care expenses he never had to pay and high school dances so many things he never helped with like my sons hospital bills. Can I add that to his bill now?
A: You can sue your ex-husband for more child support now that he has come into millions. You can also add the costs of day care, high school dances, and your son's hospital bills to his bill. The court will consider all of the factors involved, including the income of both parents, the needs of the children, and your ex-husband's ability to pay when determining the amount of child support that your ex-husband is ordered to pay.
