I had a lawyer pro bono & we couldnt find my husband.
I found out that I had to pay 280 for an ad in the paper where we last knew he resided but I couldnt afford the fee.
I was told I couldnt file for child support until the divorce paperwork was in place.
Is this true?... Read more »

This is something you should definitely be discussing with your attorney, that's what you are paying them for. In general true 50/50 physical custody is fairly tough to get, particularly if the other party objects and considering the age of the child. There is nothing wrong with you trying, as long...

Likely no, bc the child support liens are senior. Consult an experienced attorney who can help you protect the property.
No. The child support lien makes child support the senior lien.

I filed for child support again and was approved His support started in December and comes right out of his check to me . Will IRS intercept refund or is it too early . The court sent a letter in late December stating he owed That amount otherwise I wouldn’t have known
Based on your question it is a possibility his tax refund could get intercepted.
judge assigned an amount originally thought was monthly, Instead was weekly
have absolutely no income; existing at mercy of family members and friends
Based on your question yes you could request a child support modification.
Based on your question you need to notify the court and you can attempt to collect via an income withholding order from the court.
I re-filed for child support and started to receive payments at the end of December. He owes 19k per the letter from courts . The support has came straight from his check , so it has been paid weekly on time But if he files his taxes, will I get the back support owed ?
Based on your question the state may do a tax intercept for his tax return and put it towards his arrears.

Son is 18 has joined the national guards. He has done his basic training over the summer and now goes once a month over the weekend and gets paid from them, do I still have to pay on him till he is 19....
You can petition the court and ask them to find that your child is emancipated (and therefore have your support obligation terminated). However, given the facts you've put forward, you may have an uphill battle on this one.
Or is it possible for the parent that has custody to waive child support
The parties may sometimes waive a child support obligation, if both parties are in agreement on that. However, it would need to be approved by the judge.

We do not have joint custody. I have custody of the oldest, my ex has custody of the two younger. Where in the guidelines does it address split custody child support?
Your situation would be addressed directly by the Indiana Child Support Calculator, which takes into account any additional child support obligations of either party. Hope that helps.
Almost weekly he is doin this and every time it's substantiated. But DCS protocol is to investigate every report that comes through. So they said unfortunately they have to do their part each time
I think you meant that every time it's "unsubstantiated," meaning no basis was found for the charges. This is, unfortunately, something that happens from time to time. What DCS told you is generally correct, that they have a duty to investigate the charges that are lodged with them.
If you are asking if you will be required to file a child support worksheet in cases where you share joint physical custody then the answer is most likely "yes". It is not necessarily the case that neither party pays support when they share equal time with their children. Indiana utilizes an... Read more »
Our daughter just turned 19 on 7/24. I was not given any notice he would be stopping the support.
Based on the information provided in your question he would have to file for emancipation with the court.
He was not originally married when the support order started.
Based on the information in your question no he is not.
Info online says yes it does end at 19 but may be ordered to pay postsecondary school, which has already happened. Can one be forced to pay support and college expenses after age 19? I need a definite answer. I was told the law just changed a couple months ago (by an attorney) but cannot find... Read more »
