Re: child support

It is unclear whether or not you are in NJ or Indiana, but unless you have an Order saying that the children were adopted they were not adopted. I suggest you consult an attorney immediately.

Re: child support

I would need a lot more facts before I can give you a good answer. However, the most important thing for you to do is to get a lawyer. Not only will he or she be able (hopefully) to get you out of this mess but he or she will also be able to represent you in court so you don't have to come out here. Thus, I suggest you get a good one.

Feel free to call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case. My initial consultations are always free.
