What is the name of your state? Illinois
Hello, My husband went through a divorce 10 years ago and it was determined that he had to pay for his ex wife's college and lawyers fees, which became a $35,000 arrearage, and that he had to pay child support until the kids turned 18 or finished high school, whichever came last. They are graduating in a month. If he keeps paying the same amount will the money automatically go towards the arrearages or does he have to officially go back to court and stop the child support even though the decree specifically states that it ends now? This will really make a big difference in what we decide to do right now financially, so any input will help. Thank you.
