I would like to know how I can find out if a child support case has been closed. My ex husband moved out of state( NJ) about a year after I filed child support and quit his job. The courts had garnished his checks, but after he moved out of state the courts stated it was hard to enforce child support across state lines. That was in 1990. Since then he had agreed to pay $300 a month (this is an out of court agreement). He's been very inconsistent with payments about $27,000 within the last 16yrs is what I figure I have received.
I filed in 2001 in Virginia, the state in which my ex lives and is a police officer. I was told by Fairfax County, that he failed to appear for the inital intake and they are unable to locate him, even though I gave all the information including his mother's contact info. So that case is somewhere in limbo. My daughter is now 17yrs old and attending college. He has refused to pay me any support since April, 2005.
I am very frustrated and need direction in how to handle this.
1) How do I find out if I can reopen the original case filed in Maryland (1990) and file for back child support.
or
2) Challenge Fairfax County, Va to reopen the pending case and try to have them back date it from the inception of the claim.
or
3) File a new child support case. Which means he will only have to pay until she turns 18 in Jan 2006.
