Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa
I have 2 sons 19 & 17(18 in March). the oldest has not lived at home since he was 17, he also lived with me for 3 years when he was 13,14,15. I paid support on both even when he lived with me. The youngest also lived with me for 1 yr before that. Now my ex still wants me to continue to pay support on both kids and pay back support( only about 300). what options do I have to reduce my support or stop it altogether?

You are obliged to pay your arrearage but unless your oldest is going to college and your ex has filed a motion for post secondary education subsidy under Iowa Code section 598.21F and a court has ordered it, you are not obligated to pay support past their 18th birthday, or, if they are attending high school, their date of graduation.

I suggest you contact a competent attorney to assess your rights and your responsibilities in this matter and the best of luck.
