My children don’t know who I am and have been calling another man “dad” for 4 years. How can I fight this? What do I do

Contact a child support lawyer to run the numbers for you.

Ex wife's income will get you a decrease. One year old will not get you a decrease.
In November of 2009 me and my sons father went to court and it was ordered he pay $260 a month in child support. For a couple of years he did but for the past 5 years or so he hasn't. Everytime I asked for it, he would make up some excuse, tell me he is broke, promise future payment but not... View More

The father is completely wrong. The Judgment is in force until your child turns 18 or graduates from high school but no later than 19. Before he hits 18 file for contempt and get a judgment of arrears. Then THAT judgment needs to be renewed every 10 years
After her business??

In Louisiana Support Enforcement only requests 3 years. You need to direct this question to an Indiana Child Support Attorney.
Original order was made in texas but child has lived in Louisiana for the last 14 years.

If you have overpaid, then yes it can be applied as child support in advance.
I paid her alimony for a year, paid her vehicle note for a year, and still have to pay over $1500 in child support when I keep the kids for two weeks and she keeps them for two weeks.

If there is a disparity in income, then yes, child support will still be due.

Yes. File a Motion for Contempt NOW. Get a judgment against him for arrears. Then file that judgment as a lien against him personally and against any property he owns. Dont forget to renew the judgment every 10 years.
I currently receive court-ordered child support for my son. I just found out that his girlfriend is pregnant. He will be starting his senior year in high school when the baby is born. If Support Enforcement gets involved, will he have to pay child support? Will I have to pay it for him? Will this... View More

Buy your son a box of condems.
You and his father will have to pay child support for him, once the baby is born and until he turns 18 or graduates from high school whichever comes last, but no later than his 19th birthday.
He needs to go to college immediately and work part time... View More

Yes, but you have to file a motion to modify child support. If the level of support is changed, this is only retroactive to the date of filing, so file soon.

If you were paying through support enforcement, contact them. But you should have kept your own records.
My kids receives 160.00 a month between the 2 of them..Thats not enough for 2 teenagers..

If his job can be documented, then yes he can pay more child support.
The State For the same thing as the absent parent?

Child support can only go back 10 years, EXCEPT if an arrearage judgment is renewed every 10 years.
She’s not going to let me move out without going to court she relies on the child support to much to just let me go. I hate living here is there anything we can do?

Your father can hire a custody lawyer to file for a modification of custody and a hearing for you to talk to the judge.
How can I close the case? And how is it that they can force me to continue with it and go to court, if I want it closed and I’m the one that initiated all this to begin with?!

By being on Medicaid, State taxpayers are paying your kids' health insurance. State taxpayers want the parents to pay them back for this health insurance. You can't shut down a Support Enforcement case if you accept state or federal aid.

Following up on the post of attorney Badeaux-----in answer to your question, NO, however, I would encourage you to review the order(s)/judgment(s) in effect regarding child support and see if the language discusses termination/expiration. If it does, then follow that. If you do not agree with... View More
