What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I live in Indiana. My daughter is 22. She attends college. Her father and I are divorced. I am a stay at home mom and a student. Our divorce was in 1997. The divorce papers state that due to the differences in our income, he earns at least 3 times more than I do when I am working, I am not responsible to pay any child support. I have helped through he years with costs when requested. Now my ex is telling me I have to come up with $7500 for college or he will put a lien on my home. He is also threatening to sue me for back support. Is this possible? He has chosen to co-sign for loans and pay for college expenses. I have always paid my own way and I expect my children to do the same. She cannot get grants or loans because her dad makes too much money. He had money set aside, but lost it in the stock market. My daughter will not keep a job and quit the Navy right before she went to boot camp. She always runs home to dad to live and he keeps letting her get away with it. I do not agree with all of this. I think she needs to be more responsible.
We live pretty well. We are not rich, but we are comfortable. My husband is self employed and is successful. However, he was raised to be responsibe and hard working. He never got hand outs and he will not give one to my daughter. Especially when she behaves the way she does. I cannot say I disagree. We have 2 children together and we will not give hand outs to our children when they will not be responsible and try to work and pay some of their own expenses.
What are my legal obligations. Can he put a lien on my house or sue me for back support, when I have a court order saying I do not have to pay any?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
