asking for a friend
child turned 18 in May still in high school but now graduated. Child is tight-lipped on what her plans are. Mom already has told her either she goes to school, gets a job or can go live with Dad when she was done high school. Same rules apply at his house, job or school.
contacted Fro who contacted other parent about stopping CS. Fro got back and said they cannot do anything.
He is going to see a lawyer to do a motion to change ASAP. I think he will use his old lawyer. Yes he could probably do it himself but he is dealing with other family issues right now so he feels paying a lawyer will make sure it all gets done right the first time.
I noticed on the FRO website there is a form to discontinue enforcement of support and lets you give the reasons why. Should he fill this out now to have enforcement stopped till it gets before a judge? Can he even do that when there is no court date yet? He knows he will have to go to court to get this resolved but wants to make sure that the payments to the ex stop till it is resolved so he doesnt have to worry about trying to get any overpayment back. He will be banking the money in case there is proof that the child will be continuing with their education. He just wants proof.
If he should fill it out now, can he fax it to fro instead of mailing it?
Can he ask for his lawyer costs if this goes to court? I have a feeling that once his ex sees he has lawyered up she may agree with CS being stopped so maybe if he can get costs if she doesnt agree, it may make her think twice about it.
thanks
