Can you sue your ex-husband for child support?

Answer 1

If he is the legal father of the child, then he has an obligation to support that child. You can contact child support enforcement in your state or you can retain an attorney and file in the local family court. This is the usual step since you will be asking the court to enter a child custody order at the same time.

Answer 2

No, a step parent have no right to the children or the child support. The husband can sue her though. If there already is a court order for child support and she is not paying, the father have to go back to court where it was issued and report that she is not following the court order.

Answer 3

If there is an estate, you can make a claim against the estate but it must be filed in a timely manner. Check with the agency you work through, providing the information needed. Typically, all charges against an estate are completed within a year.

Answer 4

However, perhaps you might think about why you are angry and with whom. The child is not At Fault for needing to be fed and clothed. YOU did that for the CHILD, not the adults. Sometimes, we do what we do from our hearts because it is the right thing to do. If it doesn't work out well, sometimes it's best to just walk away. The child will eventually realize YOU provided for the child's needs, not the biological dad. You might want to preserve that good relationship.

Answer 5

No. You were a volunteer at the time you provided that support. You don’t get to ask for all your money back because the relationship ended. It is assumed that at the time you were doing it out of love for the child’s mother and you accepted the circumstances and no one promised that you would be reimbursed.

Answer 6

No. She is not responsible for her new husband's child support obligations.

Answer 7

No. The ex-wife can only sue the FATHER of the child for child support. The new wife is not a parent to the child and is therefore, not legally responsible for someone else's child.

Answer 8

No. Your ex-husband's wife is not responsible for your child[ren].

Answer 9

Not unless he is the father of the child. Only the biological parents pay for their child.

Yes
