You should file a Motion for Emancipation of your daughter. There are a number of factors that would warrant her emancipation. First, the fact that your daughter has had two children might entitle you to have her emancipated (thus ending your child support obligation). Also, if you can prove that she is not in school (you should consider subpoening the community college to get her class transcripts), then you have an additional basis to get her emancipated. Also, if you can prove that your daughter's Mother filed false documents or otherwise misrepresented to the Court, then you could file a motion for sanctions to be awarded to you in the form of attorney's fees.
