What is the name of your state? Colorado
I am in the process of attempting to modify my child support based on the emancipation of my oldest child. I will provide the details and what I have done so far and I would appreciate any comments and/or recommendations.
My son is 18 years old and lived with me and my current wife from the time he was 13 until he turned 17. At that time he moved back in with his mom. He had attended school every day when he lived with me and then after moving in with his mom he registered for school but did not attend. After about 6 months he signed up for a "Digital" school where he attended and received credit for one class.
He had not attended school since March 2005 so in September 2005 I submitted the paperwork with the court to stop paying child support because he was not attending school. About three weeks after that date he was back in school again and has been since that time.
I do not have a relationship with my children because their mother insists on interrogating them every time they come to my house and this has caused some serious problems between me and my children. I have paid all my child support on time for the last 6 years (over $27,000).
I have since learned that my oldest son is not living at home and has a baby with the girl he is living with.
I am scheduled for mediation in a couple of weeks and I really need some advice. Here are my questions.
1. How do I prove that he isn't living at home?
2. How do I prove that he has a child?
3. How do I request back child support for all the times he was not attending school?
4. How do I show this as a pattern (it's happening with my 11 year old now because he goes to school about 3 days a week) to get custody of my other child?
Thanks for any and all responses.
