If your ex is on bond one way to handle the arrears would be she does not pay you child support until. She gets credit for your arrears. If the arrears us owed for Medicaid you still will have to pay that portion

What happens if the custodial parent moves back to the same county? Am I then required to do the pick up and drop off once again? She has moved 4 times in the last 2 years and I do not see it to be fair for this to keep changing.

It is unfortunate that the custodial parent keeps moving with the child(ren). I can only imagine, if they are school aged, how it's affecting their schooling.
If the court order requires you to pick up and drop off at the custodial parents residence, then would have to do that until... Read more »
