The child support office told me that she has not responded to their calls or paperwork, and that I need to file a... Read more »
Yes. File a contempt motion in your divorce.
It is still valid but you should speak to a lawyer about collecting it for you.
My 2 sons are now 24 & 26. Their father went to prison in 2000 for 18 years. He was court ordered to pay $120 a week when he went to prison. He now has a job, he's married, and has a new baby. I figure he owes more than $80,000 in back child support. Can I sue him for the back support? He lives in... Read more »
You don’t have to sue him. The judgment awarding support is enough.
No.
No child support arrangement. Father is going into military and mother refuses to let father see child until she’s old enough to decide if she wants to know him or not. Both parents have full custody
She can if no one files a petition for parenting time and custody and challenges her on it. Dad needs court intervention immediately.
Also father is going into military and wants to make child dependent for her benefit. Mother doesn’t allow father to see child but when she was born they went to court and stated they both have full custody. Would mother be able to make him back pay child support or be able to take away rights?... Read more »
Depends on how old the child is.
One child turned 18, leaving one child to support. The previous amount was 470 and was to go down to 330. It never did. It’s a nivd case.
File a motion for a corrected wage assignment and credit for overpayment.
He - my son - was not under any legal obligation to pay child support until recently when child support office was involved by the mother. Even so, he had paid as much as he could. Now he has set amount and schedule which has just begun. Mom says he can’t see the kids until she starts getting... Read more »
File a motion for parenting time.
Or does the court place criminal charges?
It can be either civil or criminal. It can be pursued in civil court for enforcement or it can be in criminal court for nonsupport.
My child turns 18 in January and is supposed to graduate in May of 2020, am I required to pay back child support without a court order to do so. My child support come directly out of my paycheck.
No. Not without an order.

He needs to go back to court and ask for modification. Not a good idea to unilaterally stop support.
Mom says child is mentally unable to work but child graduated high school and says he doesn't want to work. Court stopped support on this child 5 yrs ago. Mom didn't say he was disabled then. Mom won't take child to get jobs or sheltered workshop. Mom enables child's behaviors. I showed child how... Read more »
No. You do not have to pay again.

The case will be dismissed-diverted. You can then expunge it 60 days later.
His mom filed for over $500 a month in child support and stated our assets are over $150,000 in the home. She claims only $500/mth income but she also gets disability. (1) can she get child support when he is living with me? (2) She's asking for an large amount for the home. Can she force me to pay... Read more »
If the child is here with you in Kentucky, you can file here in Kentucky. None of the things she told you are true but you need to hire an attorney and file quickly.
Responsible for any back or future child support payments when I was never informed or aware of having a child ? In a message sent to me from her states that “our” child was told her now ex husband was his father but I have no idea if he signed birth certificate
You could be liable for future support if a dna test determines you are the father. You would not owe any back support.
or do they have to report they moved to a different state
Depends on the terms of their agreement but it doesn’t affect the amount of support paid or to be paid.
Or less a week will his child support increase ? He makes double what i make right now .
It can be recalculated but they will figure your portion on your pre-drop income, although it could go up.
She lives with me. She has always gotten Medicaid. I now get Medicaid, food stamps, and child care assistance. Will the government put him on child support? Can he come after me for money? And do I have to let him claim her?
He will have to pay child support. He cannot recoup any money from you absent a change of possession of the child. If he is current on his child support, the court will generally alternate the tax exemption between you and him.
That means he doesn’t owe enough of an arrearage for the state to intercept his taxes.
Like formula, diapers, wipes. He said that if he pays child support that I have to supply him with those when she’s in his care in kentucky
No. You do not supply them when in his care. He supplies them.
