You may have a claim against them although there are immunity issues involved. Find a civil rights attorney who can evaluate the case for you.

Most likely, it has created an arrearage owed to the state for which you both are responsible. Ask for an audit or accounting from both child support snd from KTAP.
She is remarried and wants more child support. Our incomes are drastically different due to her not working (thus not spending any money on our child other than what she already gets from me). Is this a loophole to get the non custodial parent to have to pay more in child support? Also, if it goes... View More

You need to file a motion alleging she is voluntarily underemployed and ask for an evidentiary hearing. That way you can get her entire employment history into evidence. Remarriage on either side does not affect child supportlreceipt or payment.

Not unless your lawyer tells you to. If you do not have a lawyer, then yes, you should attend.
My parents have never paid a dime towards helping with anything and lost custody due to abandonment of child. They left him with me when I was 18 and I’ve had him ever since. He is in college and it would help with his and my expenses for the car I bought him and items needed for classes.
Speed it along. He's literally about to lose the home for his daughter. Why would it take this long? People are struggling, and you know you've got a check sitting with your name on it. That's not right

Go to the child support office that has the check and inquire as to its availability.
Also the father has no income or paper trail showing he has income. How can I receive child support?

You can probably get the warrant and time to serve set aside if you hire a lawyer and pay the money.
He is not in the arrears and was never married to the mother.
I was behind at the beginning of the year but then started making the min payment for the past 6months
answered on Jan 17, 2023
You should appear in court and ask for an audit of your account although paying the minimum payment for the past six months doesn’t help catch up the arrearage.
My sister has a protective order against her ex and they are to have no contact. She is asking for a dissolution of marriage with children and wants child support. In some of the sections it is asking for where her ex works and what his salary is. She does not know this and can't ask him due... View More

That will happen if you are the father once the court ordered dna results come back.

Call the district court clerk for the county in which the warrant was issued.

No. You will have to file a petition for emancipation in the district court of the county in which you reside.
The 21 yr old graduated from high school, went to a trade school and graduated, now working and he is no longer living with his mother who has moved to somewhere in Indiana with the other child.

Make a motion to modify child support immediately. You should request a credit for monies paid back to the time he went awol.
My ex wife and I had an agreement in our decree that I would pay any child care expenses related to babysitting. He's getting older now and we both agree that a regular child support payment is needed. Can the court order back child support over the existing court order?
answered on Nov 7, 2022
Could they? Yes. Would they, most likely not. Best practice would be for you and ex to sign an agreed order as to the new terms. The courts generally do not tamper with agreements of the parties unless they are patently unfair.
