What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
About 5 years ago my ex left the country suddenly at left me with our 3 kids. I got full physical and legal custody of the by default because she didn't show up to any of the court dates. I was never able to get an order for child support, I filed but could not serve her because i didnt have an address for her out of the country and i tried going through my states child support unit who attempted to find her by using her social security number but nothing ever came of it. over the past 5 years she has become successful and is the CEO of a business that she started outside the US and I have found out that she has been visiting the US frequently. We are still legally married and I would like to know if I can sue her for any part of her business or back child support from the date I attempted to file ? The way I see it is that she left and started this business and I supported our children so I should be entitled to part of it as her spouse ?
