Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My autistic son turn 18 in two weeks. I ex wife has served me with papers to continue child support. She does not work, has never worked, nor plans on ever working. She want to get the child support so she has a means of self support. She has done a poor job keeping a good home and providing the right type of upbringing for our son, but has not done enough to be deturmined unfit. I have offered for our son to come live with me, but she has rejected this proposal. I have consulted three attorneys and they all say that it is going to cost me thousands to win this case. Do I have any alternative?

When your son turns 18 years old - he is considered emancipated. You need to file for SSD for him and either your ex or yourself can become his payee. I don't know which attorneys you talked to but perhaps you need to find some others.
