Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
Back Child Support for Two children
I was wondering if there was a way to make my ex husband to help pay for bills or pay child support? My ex has full custody but my children have been living with me for the past 5 years and he hasn't helped with any of the bills. My son is now 20 and currently in college. My daughter is 17 and in high school. We live in Indiana while my Ex lives in Oklahoma and I was wondering if there was a case could I try the case here in Indiana? I have asked on numerous occasions if he would help with bills and every time he says no. The most recent occasion was this past weekend I asked if he would help out because my daughter has to get her tonsils taken out and he simply said no to that too. Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated, I want to get as much information as I can before I go to the lawyers and ask what I can do.

Re: Back Child Support for Two children
Sounds to me that you can probably have the case registered here and seek modification retroactive to the date of the kids moving in with you.
