My question involves child support in the State of: CA
My ex owes me $12,000 plus interest. He was in aa and jail, etc so until recently I had 100% custody. Now he has 'cleaned' up his act so a few months back I agreed to 50/50. Now he's taking me to court for child support. My son is 17 and has 1 year left of school.
Do I have any hope of not paying him? I make about $80K and pay for all of my kids expenses (22 yo daughter). It's not bad but he wants $530/month in child support. My budget doesn't have that much wiggle room.
Thanks.
