Re: child support
Well first of all, I must ask, was the mother ever primary custodian and if so, does he owe her an arrearage on child support when the child was with her. If so, he would have to continue paying her. If her financial circumstance changed for the worse with no fault of hers, then the payment on the arrearage could be increased. Of course, from your question I can't tell if that is the case. I am guessing.
Was there ever an order of custody entered by the court and if so, who is primary custodian ? If she was made primary custodian and he never modified it despite the fact he has the child, then he will keep paying.
My response is ...YOU CARE. You should see a lawyer.
