New poster. OP, as you can see, you need to talk to a good attorney with experience in child support law where you live and if possible, experience getting back child support where there was no formal agreement in place previously.

Here, you are just getting posts telling you it's useless etc. when people here just cannot know that for certain. People here tend to project their own issues and experiences onto others' questions. We are not lawyers here.

I'd get off this site and get to an attorney ASAP. I'm sorry your ex is a jerk who doesn't choose to support his kid who was smart enough and worked hard enough to get into college. [/quote]

The ex is not a jerk.   Child is an adult.  How long does mom expect support?   Dad can help his adult child directly if he chooses.  [/quote]

Stopping child support three years early while assuming no costs for the child? Yeah that’s basically the definition of a jerk. I bet he doesn’t want the kid living with him all summer and I bet he’s not the one the kid calls for help paying for books.[/quote]

This child is 20, not 18 and no, the kid probably doesn't call him for books because Dad is paying mom the child support money that should be used to buy books.  He shouldn't pay for books/college and child support. Its one or the other.  And, at 20, its his choice.

By the time OP gets to court the child will be 21.  It only goes retroactive to the date of filing since there was no order so she'll spend more in attorney fees than she'll recoup.[/quote]

I’m not sure where you get that the child is 20. OP never said that.  [/quote]
