I have a 14 y.o. daughter and have moved out of state but her father resides in Chapel Hill, NC. The last court order was from Lee County Court in Sanford, NC.
Do I need to go through a local Sanford attorney to try and get a child support modification since the ex no longer has a minor child at home and I have the remaining minor?
He is self employed as a chiropractor,in trouble with the IRS, no checking account, but runs his money through another person’s checking account. He has not been cooperative about being honest about his income and paying child support.
I want to get a child support order so that it he might actually feel some pressure since he could lose his professional license if in contempt.
thanks,
tired of irresposible fathers and mothers
