How do I have the child support to my ex stopped if the child is living with me?
Full Question:
My daughter has lived with me for one year at the end of May. I am still paying child support and have asked my ex to send me the money to take care of our daughter. I dont have the 900.00 plus that it takes to take my ex to court. My daughter chose to live with me due to horrible living conditions with her mother, no food, no electric, etc. and the numerous "boyfriends" that moved in and out all the time. I do not feel that it was safe for my daughter to live there so when she asked if she could live with me I immediatley let her move in. I am glad my daughter is with me, her school grades have gone up, last year she was failing this year is on the honor roll. She is no longer depressed and has a better outlook on life. Could you please tell me how I could get help? I dont qualify for foodstamps or medicaid, therefore I dont qualify for the free legal assitstance. Isn't there something that can be done? I dont think I should have to pay child support to someone who hasnt taken care of my child for a year.

Answer:
It will be necessary to have the support order modified to change your legal obligation. Please see:
