Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Child Support

I have been paying child support for a daughter I have never met (due to her mother), I have a court order to pay until she is 21, she is now almost 20 and I recently found out that my daughter has not lived at home with her mother since 2007, can I request to stop payments, since the money is obviously not going to my child but to her mother. I have proof that my daughter no longer lives with her mother. If I can, how do I go about it

Re: Child Support

Yes. You may petition the Family Court for stop paying child support since the child is emancipated. You can go to the Family Court's intake room and the clerk will help you with the petition.
