Re: child support
You are really going to need a good family law attorney to represent you, but in general, your ex may get formal custody which will terminate his current child support for the boy and you may be ordered to pay support until the boy is 18 or has graduated from high school. Neither of these actions should effect the amount he already owes you for back child support.
