You should have brought this up with the court when it happened. It's quite possible that witnesses to what transpired have forgotten the details, so it is unlikely that contempt of court will be found.

inform the Iowa court of the Florida child support order. For specifics, you should ask your question in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > Iowa.

Probably. Why not download the order and find out?

Whose lawyer? Yours or the other side? Mandatory disclosure of financial documents is REQUIRED for both parties. The deadlines are within 30 days o the case starting.

Yes, if the Puerto Rico divorce didn't result in a final judgment and was dismissed instead, you can file for divorce here in Florida. It may well be possible to do it without your wife being physically present.

How could you get in trouble for telling the truth? No, you wouldn't.

But what makes you think he and his fiancé would loose the new home?

It's not completely clear what you are saying. The arrearage figure is negative $4,700; you paid too much? In that case, you should seek an order that the person who was paid the child support reimburse you.

Chances are that they are making empty threats, so don't get worried about it until they actually file suit. If the child has lived in Florida for at least six months, they would have to file in a Florida court. It would be very surprising if the court were to award the father primary custody.

The statute of limitations would probably bar your claim against his probate estate, assuming there is a probate case pending.

One should always fully document child support payments and, as in your case, agreements to do something other than pay your monthly child support obligation. You didn't say if your paying only half of the child support for four months was pursuant to an agreement with your ex-wife;... View More

No, you can't get your mother to pay any of it to you. She has no duty to pay for prescriptions for her adult children.
