My ex boyfriend (we were never married) has taken our child and won't let her come home. There is no custody order in place. Paternity was presumed in child support court. Is he allowed to do what he's doing? I thought if parents are unmarried, even if paternity is established, that... View More

You have to pay child support through the graduation date in May, but not thereafter.
Last week the non custodial parent was Behind $2000. I looked today and it has the decertified from federal intercept in the case activity and I’m arrears it’s 0.

Most likely they seized the $2,000 for his taxes which satisfied the arrearage. Since there was no remaining arrearage, the claim has been decertified meaning they will no longer intercept his taxes.

She is remarried and wants more child support. Our incomes are drastically different due to her not working (thus not spending any money on our child other than what she already gets from me).

You need to file a motion alleging she is voluntarily underemployed and ask for an evidentiary hearing. That way you can get her entire employment history into evidence. Remarriage on either side does not affect child supportlreceipt or payment.

Most likely, it has created an arrearage owed to the state for which you both are responsible. Ask for an audit or accounting from both child support snd from KTAP.
My parents have never paid a dime towards helping with anything and lost custody due to abandonment of child. They left him with me when I was 18 and I’ve had him ever since. He is in college and it would help with his and my expenses for the car I bought him and items needed for classes.

Go to the child support office that has the check and inquire as to its availability.

You can probably get the warrant and time to serve set aside if you hire a lawyer and pay the money.
He is not in the arrears and was never married to the mother.
I was behind at the beginning of the year but then started making the min payment for the past 6months
answered on Jan 17, 2023
You should appear in court and ask for an audit of your account although paying the minimum payment for the past six months doesn’t help catch up the arrearage.
My sister has a protective order against her ex and they are to have no contact. She is asking for a dissolution of marriage with children and wants child support.
