Re: child support
Hello,
It is difficult to answer this without knowing all the facts. However, child support is for the child, not your ex-wife. Even if she says it is not necessary, the child support agency and court will have to agree and a new court order would likely be necessary. Otherwise, you may have to pay or a contempt motion could be filed against you. Again, dont rely on this because I dont have all the facts. If you want an opinion to rely on, you will have to contact and hire an attorney of your own. Best wishes, Mark J. Mahoney
