NC and IL child support modification

[akholiday]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC, IL

My boyfriend has 3 children 18, 16 and 13. He currently pays child support for the 13 yr old and sees him regularly. The 18 and 16 yr old recently moved in with us, from chicago because their mother moved to another state, so they had nowhere else to go. He is currently speaking with a lawyer, in order to change the custody, for the 2 older children in Illinois. He is behind on child support in IL, and what he pays for the 13 yr old(here in NC), is the obligation plus arrears. So he is current in NC. Can he still get a modification for the 13 yr old since both the 18 and 16 year old lives with us, although custody has not complete? This has, of course, been a transition because of essentially how much it costs for teenagers.

With the mother of the 2 oldest essentially abandoning them, we had to make moves quickly because of the urgency. Their mother is not in this country legally, but both children were born in the US. She essentially moved to either CA or Utah, but we are not sure. Their divorce/custody was done in IL. we are currently looking for a lawyer in IL, to assist us but he is indeed behind in CS, but we can't seem to find anything online to tell us what he owes or even if its in the system. We have no help financially, at least for now, until we can find a lawyer in IL. Being in NC makes this difficult but trying to do as much via phone as possible.

Although he doesnt have custody of the older children, at this time, yet they live with us and we support them financially, is that enough to modify the NC agreement?

Regards,
A

Please have your boyfriend, under his own user name join this site and ask his own legal issues.

1. Most of the site members rather deal with the actual legal party.

2. It really is not your place to post anothers legal issues in the internet. No disrespect intended to you.

I will also add that you are not explaining things very clearly, which tends to indicate that you don't have all of the information needed to even answer the question.

They could have went with their mother.

Actually, no. He is in arrears. That is the opposite of being current.

Can he still get a modification for the 13 yr old since both the 18 and 16 year old lives with us, although custody has not complete? This has, of course, been a transition because of essentially how much it costs for teenagers.

And?

With the mother of the 2 oldest essentially abandoning them

Abandoning them? REALLY?

we had to make moves quickly because of the urgency.

You don't have to do anything.

Their mother is not in this country legally, but both children were born in the US. She essentially moved to either CA or Utah, but we are not sure. Their divorce/custody was done in IL.

Then custody remains in IL until the case is transferred properly.
Oh and you should not be criticizing the mother quite frankly. Your boyfriend chose to marry this woman.

we are currently looking for a lawyer in IL, to assist us but he is indeed behind in CS, but we can't seem to find anything online to tell us what he owes or even if its in the system. We have no help financially, at least for now, until we can find a lawyer in IL. Being in NC makes this difficult but trying to do as much via phone as possible.

You are not going to get representation. You are not a party to the case. You are not going to get financial help or support.

Although he doesnt have custody of the older children, at this time, yet they live with us and we support them financially, is that enough to modify the NC agreement?

The NC agreement? How is there an agreement in NC when the divorce/custody were done in IL? You have no clue.

From what I can figure out, there are TWO different cases going on - one involving the two children from Illinois and another one in North Carolina.

We are volunteers. We prefer to deal with the parent.

He is in arrears on the Illinois case. He will need an attorney in Illinois to deal with court there. Once that is complete, then he should revisit the NC order.
