You need a written agreement from your former spouse waiving the outstanding balance. Then you can file the agreement with a motion to terminate child support. You need to file with the court that issued your current child support order. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.

The most common reason for a lawyer to withdraw stating that a client has broken their contract is because the client failed to pay the lawyer's fees as agreed. This is a perfectly legitimate reason for a lawyer to withdraw.

Yes, you can file a motion for temporary relief, but if you are represented by an attorney you would need to have them file the motion. If you were not represented by an attorney you could file the motion on your own. Be aware that some jurisdictions have administrative orders that apply to family... View More

Do I have any additional rights to alimony or other support (health insurance coverage, etc.) considering he filed to leave our marriage for his criminal mistress?

Based on Florida law, you are probably entitled to alimony based on the length of marriage and disparity in income. The fact that he cheated does not have a direct impact on your alimony claim. If he spent marital funds on the affair you can seek to have half of that money credited to you. Speak... View More

In Florida you are legally emancipated on your eighteenth birthday. You do not say if you are trying to prevent him from moving out. What you are describing is not "illegal" in any way. His being adopted does not change anything. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
