My question involves child support in the State of: PA
Hi everyone, I am new here so I apologize if I am not detailed enough. Here is where I am lost. After my divorce, my ex-wife still lived in PA and opened a child support case for my son and a daughter she had prior to us getting married. She met another man and married him, and then moved to GA. From GA she signed up for child support enforcement, but the case is still in PA (just being enforced from GA). After a couple years in GA, they have a couple more children and decide to move to TX. The man she married is a responsible Army sergeant who has always treated the children very well, and they asked if I would be willing to sign a step-parent adoption so the children all had the same last name. I did, and have regretted it every day since. But that is beside the point, what's done is ultimately done.
Now for my question - it's been a couple of years since the step-parent adoption and the child support case is still active in PA. What is the process for stopping the case? I am well aware that I will be paying any arrears, but the case is continuing to accrue when it shouldn't be. I've asked one local attorney what my options are, and he basically said it would cost thousands of dollars and it was almost guaranteed nothing would change.
Can it be stopped with a court order? Can a lawyer send off the step-parent adoption paperwork to PA to stop it? I am lost on this, and don't know where to turn.
Thank you for reading and I appreciate any direction.
