Yes
This is possible, under certain limitations, on single parents, but in 20 years, I've never seen one done as it relates to a divorce. Usually, child support orders are established at the time of the divorce. If not paid, arrears can be collected, regardless of the age of the children.
No. Generally, that must be done in the court that has jurisdiction over the child. In the case of a divorce, the court where the divorce was filed has jurisdiction over the child.
what if your done with current child support but still owe interest for back support.
Do you mean should your ex-husband have to pay child support? Yes, most definately. This issue should be addressed when you and he go to court for the divorce. The amount of child support is usually based on the number of children you and he have, in addition to gross income. Do you mean child support that he was ordered by the courts to pay? If so, and if he is not paying it as ordered, then you can take him back to court and sue him for it. You should sue for any amount in arrears (the total amount of child support he is behind on). If you mean do you have to first ask for child support at the time of divorce, your attorney should have done that. If he didn't, then you can always go back to court and ask for it.
generally this is done when there is an allegation of child abuse, but also pressure can be put on her to do this in order to receive welfare benefits.
If the custody order is done through a court of law, the sister will receive (and needs) child support.
Just ask child support enforcement for it to be done.
A modification need to be done to transfer the obligation from the father to the mother. see link below
A verbal agreement is never the way to go in these instances. If the order to rescind child support was properly done, and with the final divorce decree modified legally, then she must go through all the proper motions to get it re-instated. You would naturally be part of those court proceedings.
Yes, it can. Moving in with the other parent is grounds for "flipping" child support payments. However, this must be done by court order.
Legal separation is to the same thing as divorce and is not always a prerequisite to a obtaining a dissolution of marriage (i.e. divorce). Although many of the issues (such as alimony, child support, etc) that would traditionally be dealt with in a divorce were done in your legal separation, you still need to go through the divorce process, starting with filing for divorce. At no point, no matter how long you have been separated, will a legal separation turn into a divorce.
Too much time has passed. The child has been an adult for many years now and do not need the money. Unless you have a court order for child support and he owes arrears there is nothing you can do.
