You should contact a child support lawyer in your area and set up a meeting---when you meet please bring a copy of the order relative to payment of child support and the order relative to custody so that the lawyer can review the law of your case and advise accordingly. Good luck.

Custody by mandate is only one year long and does not abdicate the financial responsibility to support a child.

He will have to pay child support from whenever they filed for it IF the paternity test reveals he is the father.
answered on Dec 6, 2021
No, child support and visitation have nothing to do with each other, and 2 wrongs don't make a right. If he's not paying his child support, you can file a rule to have him held in contempt. Likewise, if you refuse to allow him visitation, he can file to have you held in contempt.
But during the course of time she became incarcerated then her sister kept the kids for a few months. I've been paying them both child support and neither my daughter(17yrs) or my son(15yrs) live with either of them. We agree on terminating my Child support order. Is that possible? Because...

Hire a child support lawyer who practices in the parish from which the support order is originating. Get certified copies of your pre-existing child support orders.
No custody agreement has been set in place yet, the kids have been with me since May of this year. I haven't been served the actual papers yet but my court date is December 1st.
