My ex and I have been divorced since my son was 2 yrs old he is now 18. He has had custody every since. I thought I was doing the right thing at the time, I was really wrong. When we first got divorced. He said he would not go after me for child support. I was really young and had to learn to take care of myself. When he got remarried the first thing they did was come after me for child support. The only problem with that is my son lived with his grandparents for about 85% of the time and they raised him. They bought his clothing and did everything for him. I don't think it's fair my ex gets the child support, when he didn't even raise our son. Last year he got my husband now any my taxes (3500.00) I was so made. I don't pay because it's not fair to my son. He doesn't see a dime and my ex uses the money for what he wants. If there's help out there I would like to know.

Your son is now 18? Have you ever filed a petition to the courts for custody?

Yes he is 18. I would of filed for custody along time ago, but he was so close to his grandparents he didn't want to live with me.

Well you have no choice but to pay now. You should have and could have done something long before now. You could have at least let the courts no that your son was living with grandparent instead of dad then your support would have been going to them. The money is not to go to your son and this is money that is for reimbursement of raising YOUR son.

As far as your husbands taxes go, you can file an injured spouse form and they shouldnt take your current husbands taxes. Other than that, get used to having your taxes intercepted.

You said you dont pay because its now fair to your son. How long have you not been paying? How far behind are you?

I have tried to do something about this. I have contacted the OR courts and MO courts. The only thing I could is have the grandparents take me to court and change the order. They said they couldn't do that to me. I have tried everything and nothing has helped. Noncustodial parents have NO rights.

What is a injured spouse form and how do I file?
