Re: childsupportM

If there was no child support order they cannot collect child support. It appears that there must have been a modification or a new order. Your should obtain all orders in the court file with respect to child support and have those reviewed by an attorney. You can have any support that he owed you offset against support that you owe him. It sounds like you cannot afford not to have an attorney. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
