This is really something that attorneys in the Animal Law/Dog Law section would know best. But your post remains open for four weeks.

I am a junior in high school and want to be lawyer.

Hello! Post minority (after age 19) support is no longer allowed in Alabama and has not been allowed for several years.

You still owe $1,200.00 in child support through the MS judge's order. It is handled the same as it has always been and you should still be paying the same way. It does not become an Alabama issue unless you make it one by moving the case to Alabama. Best of luck!

I'm very sorry that all these things are happening to you on top of the recent loss of your husband. Unfortunately, when it comes to rentals, the allowances are strictly monitored.
