I never knew she moved him out of state until i was able to pick him so I had my mother to call her because we don’t get alone so she stated to my mother that I knew that she moved but that’s a total lie because I never signed any papers with us having joint custody..what should I do?

If she removed the child from Louisiana, she would have had to comply with the relocation statute. She should have notified you of the proposed move before it occurred. If she didn't, you have the right to file contesting the move. A family law/custody attorney can help you with this.
I've been paying child support to my ex this year for our 3 yr old daughter. My ex has a job where he maxed out what he will be able to make something like 17 an hr, because of a lack of education, no g.e.d etc. Before the child support he was constantly complaining of not being able to afford...

Since child was born i have been denying paternity. Mother of the child was arrested on drug charges child has resided with maternal grandmother most of his life what can i do about my child support
I allowed him to pay the 500 for the past 2 years and he recently asked to stop making payments completely due to changing jobs and having 2 other children. How does this work?
answered on Aug 10, 2019
His other kids irrelevant. His new job Is relevant. Get a judgment of arrears for the $12,000 he already owes you.
He also has had a new job which has better pay in the past 2 years, not sure if it was reported or not. I currently get $300 a month .. but I know with his better pay and household income .. is there a chance I will get the increase.

You may be able to get an increase if his income has increased but not because he got married.

Your wife may have had a private attorney. Look up the lawyer on the Louisiana State Bar Association website or look at the end of the petition with which you were served. You can send the child support directly to your wife or her lawyer. But ONLY do so by check; not money order, not cash.

If either tournincome or hers changes substantially, yes she can ask for an increase.

I pay each month and provide extra for her and her baby and her mother does the want to drop my support bc she's afraid she will not get as much from the grand child's father
answered on Aug 6, 2019
Your child support is dur to the mother of your daughter until your daughter is 18 or has graduated from high school, whichever comes last, but no later than her 19th birthday. This will NOT effect the child support your daughter re receives from the 19 year old.

Child support is your child's right. Why don't you just put the money in a college fund for your child?
the month and we pay most of the transportation money. The mom doesn’t meet us to pick her up or drop her off plus what we pay having her half the month.

No, a court can only order child support from the date something is filed asking for it, or "from the date of judicial demand."
