My question involves child support in the State of: FL / NY then KY
I"ve paid support till the age of child became 18. He is in NY, orders were made in FL. Orders had written till 21 per NY terms. FL then ended the payments at 18 and I paid fees to close the case in May 2009. April 2010 I got notification of back support due from past May.
In May 09 at age of 17 child left the house and lived on his own, didn't graduate from HS and lived with someone else. He did get his diploma last summer. Still living on his own. Dec. 09 Mother sold house and moved to KY. Child stayed in NY and does not want anything to do with her, he gets no support/$ from her and is on his own. He did get into community college from what I know. He won't talk/tell me anything about his life, where he lives, what he does etc. He does not live in KY with his mother. FL child support is trying to suspend my license for back support, I have filed to go to court next week to terminate support due to the child being on his own and the mother not taking any role in supporting him though now some how I get notice to pay HER support when she lives in KY and the kid is on his own in NY.
FL says a child is legal age at 18 and support ends. But now they are saying I need to pay again he is 19. On his own, basically ran away from his mother and now doesn't want anything to do with me either.
I did at age of 4 get court ordered visitation rights from NY that I am to be notified of his legal residence, have reasonable contact/visitation/phone calls etc. She has not complied with this at all over all the years. I can probably file for contempt of court for her not adhering to the terms. She has avoided any of my calls months ago and hangs up on me if I call after tracking down her legal address though the support office/courts would not give me her address. I know where she lives. Kid is NOT with her.
What do I need to do next week when in court with the hearing officer to terminate my obligations of support since the kid is 19 on his own and the mother is NOT providing him with any support?
I have my court ordered visitation papers.
Copy/proof of her selling house in NY and moving to KY.
Emails from kid saying she doesn't not give him any money for support or provisions.
Emails from kid saying he doesn't want to go to KY or have anything to do with her.
Proof that I paid support till he was 18 in 5/09 but he left the house prior to turning 18 and has been on his own since then. Living with friend only. He works but I don't know where or where he lives, have no phone number and only an email he at times will reply to me.
I want my support payments to end since he is on his own and wants NO contact from me or his mother.
