My husband would like to file for child support from his exwife. He is a little concerned about losing custody if he trys. They have joint legal custody, with him as the physical custodian. Additionally, we live out of state from her. Believe me there was no fight with an out of state move. Does he have any right to ask for child support. I say if she were a man people would look a little differently. A parent is a parent and should help regardless. Additionally, one of our children has alot of medical expenses. She rarely has contact with them, possibly once every six weeks she makes a phone call to them. We both agree that she should pay support and have it go directly to a college fund. Also, if he sets up a court hearing for full legal custody, could she fight this and possibly win. I have been in these boys lives since they were 3 and 4 and they call me mom and only really know me as mom, and I would hate the thought of losing them. Thank you for your advice and help.
