My husband of almost 20 years left 3 years ago to PA and was ordered by Florida to pay $271 a month as of 6/1/2007, which includes back support for those three years. Our daughter is 17 and had a baby and he wants to stop payments. He has only paid one. She will be 18 in May, however, she is debating on living in CA with the father of the baby and her dad doesn't want to pay another dime. Is there a way, if I sign a paper with the court, that even if she lives in CA and I live in Florida, that she can still collect the money owed to her, as she is going to need it? I don't want it for myself and it is only a couple more months until she is 18.

This one is a hard one. I am newly married father of an eight year old girl (not with child’s mother). My child’s mother and I since April 2006 have legal joint custody but she has the right to live with mom. We have a good relationship so child support has never been an issue and my child has stayed with me and my family and gone to school by my mother’s house since she was born. My child’s mother has four children (total includes my child) all girls each a different father. Now July 2007 due to another man she is now living in a domestic violence women’s shelter. She has my child living in that shelter and entered some program for help but my child’s mental status is not well because of this situation, she does not want to be there either. Her mother says now in this program my daughter can not sleep over until she is out of this program. I am able to see her during the day and on weekends but I do not want my child there. What are my options to remove my daughter from this situation? I live in New York and so does the mom. Would I be able to get sole custody if I take her to court? Can I take her to court and save my daughter even though she is in the women’s shelter program? Please help with all options available. Thank you

Hi, I live in Texas, my daughter who is 11yrs and has been living with me for 8 months. Before that she lived 2 weeks with her father and 2 weeks with me, but as she got older it did not work out. We have never been to court and I want to file for sole custody and child support (starting from this month and forward), he currently gives me $80 a month. We both work with good jobs. My question is can he file on me for back child support? She lived with him for 3 years from 1998 to 2001? Thanks!!!

I am asking this here because I don't know what to do, My grown daughter and her boyfriend have a 5 yr old daughter. They live like absolute slobs. The house is totally filthy to the point of unhealthy. The smell is unbearable. I have tried threatening my daughter with the fact that if someone from child services saw the place the kid would be taken. They do not otherwise mistreat the kid. I take her to my house whenever possible to get her out of that disgusting place. Since I said that to my daughter a few years ago, things are only worse. No one cleans anything. There is trash and old food all over the place. The other day, when I was there picking up my granddaughter, I was looking for her clothing. (yes, you have to look for it) and I came across some paperwork written by her boyfriend, (child's father) that was basically a profile on me, and it stated that he thought I was trying to take his daughter away from them, then further down the paper it said

Sentence: 'death' and went on to say that he was going to move them out of state but he would "implement his plan before he left". I have not said anything to my daughter yet. I believe this 29 yr old "supposed" man is whacked. He has not worked in five years, and is a fan of animated cartoons. With somewhat of this background explained, I need to know, if I turn them in to child services due to the living conditions, what would happen to my granddaughter? and if she was taken from the home, what would be the chances of having her placed with me? and should I go to the police about what he wrote? I have the copies. (yes I took them). I also fail to see how my own daughter who was not raised like this can stay with him knowing he has written this stuff about me, and how she can live like they live?

Hope this made some sense. I am after all - confused and depressed over this whole situation.
