What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma
My daughter was adopted by my current husband this month. I had child support ordered in my divorce decree from her father but he never paid me for almost two years. However, I never filed contempt against him for the support so I do not have any judgment against him for a past due amount of support. Even though my daughter has been adopted and I can no longer seek to enforce support from my ex since he is no longer the legal father, can I now go back and file contempt in court to seek support for the money that I did miss when he was still the legal father?
