Question: I live in Georgia but my 18-year-old child lives in California. In 1995, I signed a court document granting my paternal rights over to my ex’s new husband. (He was supposed to adopt him, but apparently never did.) 

Three years later, I start getting child support bills again. First for $76 per month, but now it’s up to over $100 taking out of my paychecks for back child support, money I was told I would not owe after signing the child over. 

Can they legally take this money from my check? And why would the county clerks office in San Diego tell me that I won’t be responsible for paying child support and then 3 years later suddenly start collecting again without telling me?

Question: The father resides in Georgia, the child support case is in Florida. The child lives with the grandmother, the father pays $200 a month to grandmother. 

The mother of the child decides she wants to collect child support even though the child does not reside with her and she does not have legal custody of the child. She files for support with no proof of residence where the child lives. The court orders the father to pay $400 a month to the mother when the child does not live with the mother. 

How can this happen? How do we fix it?

Question: My ex and I got divorced in New Jersey. We both are now living in Georgia. 

What do I need to do to move my child support to Georgia?

Question: My wife, we’re still together, had an affair with her ex-boyfriend who is the father of my stepdaughter. I have pictures and tapes from a private investigator to prove everything.

I see her ex-boyfriend a few times a month when he comes to pick up his daughter, I have to talk to him when he calls to talk to his daughter or my wife, etc. So it’s making it very hard to move forward. We live in Georgia, but I work in Florida and come home every other weekend to see my wife and daughter. 

My question is considering the affair and the presence of her ex-boyfriend in our lives, will I get custody of our child if I file for divorce? I am a very good father, have strong family values, and have a large loving family. I don't want my wife to have custody of our child because of her values.

Question: 

My wife has asked me to find somewhere else to stay. I am considering finding a place to stay for a couple of weeks. How will this reflect as far as any kind of backlash if we end up getting a divorce?
