Bf has not seen his son in 4 yrs. His ex spouse and own family have prevented him from having consistent communication and visitation with him. Ex and child live in Anderson, IN. Bf lives in Bowling Green, KY.
He should have a right to see his children unless those right were fully taken away by a Court which is very rare.

I never heard from her again. When she filed for divorce the paperwork said we had no kids. I figured if they... Read more »
No. You potentially owe support only from the time she files an action going forward. She isn’t entitled to snything prior to that. Obviously, I’d get a dna test bc you can’t believe a word she says.

You can be required to pay child support whether you have contact or not. You should file a motion for return of custody in the court that took them.
My daughters ex has 9 kids from different women. He owes a huge amount and never works. Long story on how he ended up with her kids, but short he lied and it took cps 9 months to get her a case worker. Now he is trying for support.
Any award he might get would be offset against his arrearage.
My baby's mother died from a drug overdose and her husband was in prison. But his parents has my daughter and I can't see her or talk to her on the phone. How is it they can change her name and have me pay child support.
Probably bc you haven’t taken any steps to assert your rights.
My baby's mother got married but she died of a drug overdose. When this happened her husband was in prison. But his parents has my daughter! I've not been aloud to see her for years they wont even let me talk to her on the phone.
You need to file a custody action against her parents and establish paternity and custody. Once fine, you can then gain access or possession or custody of your vaught Ed.

Yes, unless you also reached an agreement not to do so.

They should base it on what you’re earning now rather that would years go.
My daughter has been living with me for the past year. Her father is the primary custodian and I am still paying him child support. Can I make him pay me back the money I have paid since the child hasn't been there for him to support. She is 17
Depends on your judge. You should have made a motion to terminate it when she moved in with you but you may still be able to recoup some or all of it.
If he needs emergency treatment, yes. Otherwise, let her handle it until the final hearing.
State of Kentucky
Not unless the court orders you to do so.
