What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?MO
A little history... My ex husband and I had custody of his daughter the whole time we were married(10 years).
When we divorced she went to live with her bio mother, my daughter was 15 at this time. When she was 16 she came to live with me and has been with me ever since, she is now almost 21.
Ok now my question... Her bio mother has been continually collecting child support from my ex husband. And plans to keep doing so since my daughter just enrolled in college. Although this makes me very angry, financially I'm ok, I'm not rich by any standards but I make do, I don't care about the money I just want my daughter to be in a good environment. And unfortunately that is not either of those homes so the money has never been an issue I chose to worry about, I figured if he didn't bother to get it stopped that was on him. Anyway, I've wandered off topic here, with her starting school she could use the money, it is hers after all, can I Sue her bio mom for that child support she collected while she didn't have her? We really aren't interested in continuing any orders now just the money already paid that shouldn't have been paid to the wrong person.
