Two of my kids has graduated high school one is 20 and the other one is 18. Do I still have to pay child support for them?

answered on Apr 15, 2020
After he has turned 18 and graduated from high school the child support obligation ends.
The child support was on his credit report which has been accumulating since he went to prison.

If you file for child support after the child's 18th birthday, it's too late. If you filed before the 18th birthday, you get it back to the date of filing through the 18th birthday or graduation from high school, but not later than 19th birthday. If you are in arrears on 18th birthday,... View More

It's hard to understand what you are asking. It looks like you are saying your child is age 42, the recipient died 6 years ago and the state is still garnishing your wages. You need to hire a child support attorney to review the fact and end the garnishment.

On 13 May you can stop paying.
But if it is through wage assignment, your attorney will need to file a Motion.

I’m not a bitter ex. I am happily married. But my ex will only respond in a group message and usually it’s his wife responding. Not him. Can I make it where he has to communicate with me only?

If you knew all along that the child was not yours, you have one year to Disavow. Except, if there is a biological father ready to step up, then the Filiation and Disavowal can be done at the same time after one year.
If you were mislead that the child was yours, you can still Disavow.
answered on Mar 4, 2020
Your family law attorney can file a Disavowal which will do exactly what you are requesting.
