You have to bring the FA if only because the older child is 18 (and out of high school?), so the support has to be re-calculated. Butt why doesn't the child live with you 50% of the time? In college, jail? Unless he's living with dad, unless the order is changed, I don't see how the court would terminate the child support. Probably ought to have a lawyer, though.
