Legal Question in Family Law in California
Children's activites
My divorce was final in 2001 and it was a messy one. My son is 18 and graduates in June, so his child support will end. I filed the motion and my ex rescinded with her own lawyer to increase the child support for my daughter (who is 16) and also to gain arrearages in medical / dental & children's activities since 2001. She has never involved me in their activities... will I be forced to pay this?

Re: Children's activites
What does the judgment say? Does it say you are to pay 1/2 of the unreimbursed medical/dental expenses? For those, under Family Code Section 4062, a party is supposed to present a reimbursement request promptly, but there is no statutory cut off penalty for such a long delay, so I think it's a question for the judge to decide. If she has the receipts, maybe she'll get them, but you may have a "laches" defense for some of the delay in seeking reimbursement. On the activities, not unless it was included in the judgment are you going to have to pay for those.
