- Q. What does it mean when I have current balance due of a negative -$7000 in childsupport
- A: Thank you for your question. You should call the child support and inquire about that negative number, it could mean you have overpaid but, you have to get an answer directly from them.
- Q. Child custody order is being violated in many different ways. What do I do?
- A: Thank you for your question and I am sorry you are going through this. You can file a motion to enforce the order entered by the court. I encourage you to discuss your case with an attorney and bring your order to explore other options that may be available based on the language contained in that order. Best of luck!
- Q. Can I get guardian custody of my child if they live in another state
- A: Thank you for your question. You can certainly apply for guardianship of your own biological child but you must do so in that state. There are a plethora of questions however: how old is the child? How did he/she wind up in another state? Why did you allow the child to leave this state? I recommend speaking with a family law attorney to discuss your matter.
