My question involves child support in the State of: DC
My divorce was finalized in VA about a year ago. My ex lives in another state. I am considering moving to DC because child support goes to age 21 and I have a special needs child who is 17 and requires specialized treatment not covered by insurance or medicaid. SSI will only make a small dent in his treatment costs. In VA child support terminates at 18 unless the child is "permanently mentally or physically disabled." While I believe my son would qualify, the legal fees to take this to court, enlist expert witnesses, etc. would be through the roof with no guaranteed outcome. So if both parties are no longer living in VA where divorce was finalized and I (the custodial parent) move to DC, would the DC jurisdiction then preside?
