My question involves child support in the State of: Idaho
I pay Child Support to Idaho Dept of Health and Welfare. I have paid this support for 16 years without ever missing one payment, current and good standing. My son turns 18 in May of 2012. His mother "held him back" one year in school when he was in the first grade. He will start his Junior year this fall. He does not attend any public school, he takes his classes "online" with K12 Online School. My divorce decree states:
" It is further ordered, adjudged and decreed that child support shall be paid by the plaintiff in the amount of $800.00 per month through the Clerk of District Court on or before the first day of each month commencing August 1, 1996. "
That is all that is written in reguards to child support. I have paid all payments with the online system as stated above ID Dept of H&W.
I have asked two lawyers this question, and got two different answers. One advised me that I will pay until 19, the other said at age 18 to stop sending payments.
I talked with the Dept of Health and Welfare and she said I had a "Non-Enforced" order and if it were her, she would simply stop sending payments at the age of 18.
I plan to do that, but, what will happen if my ex goes to a lawyer?? Will I end up with a lean on my home, bad credit reported, garnished wages, or will it be a court process? Anyone have any idea of how this will or could turn out?? Thank you !!
