It depends on when your child support was supposed to end. If it has ended then it cannot be modified retroactively. If you are still paying support, some states go to 21, then you can file a motion to modify your child support.

If he is supposed to still get it but not otherwise. This should have been done before the child became an adult. Once the child is emancipated none of you are obligated to pay for him anymore unless it is in the child support agreement or the state laws says otherwise if he is still in school etc.

Can the mother of a child file for child support after the child has turned 18 and both parents went to court and the mother agreeded to dismiss the charges already?

If you agreed to dismiss a claim for child support arrears you cannot file a new case regarding those same arrearages. If you agreed to forego child support prior to the child reaching 18 then it is too late to go back now.


If you and your ex have joint custody is it true when his lawyer says he does not have to pay child support?

In some instances it depends upon the living arrangements. If the child/children live with both parents equally, then child support is not always ordered by the court. However the issue of medical coverage, educational expenses, and so on will need to be addressed. Generally if the child/children reside with one parent the majority of the time, child support is awarded to that parent. Also in some cases, a disparity in incomes can play a part in whether or not support is warranted.

You can not modify your child support. Only the court can modify your child support. It is possible the court will do that. It is unusual for your wife to get half your salary. In setting child support, this is a deductible item in all states, that should have been taken into consideration. If not, you can request a modification. see links below
