Question:
Is it legal for my ex-wife to use the child support I’m paying her to pay off her personal loan?
Answer:
I am not licensed to practice law in your state. Therefore, I cannot inform you as to the specific laws in your state and can only provide you with general information regarding your situation.
In Tennessee and Missouri, where I am licensed, it is legal to spend child support money however the obligee decides.
The state determines how much is needed to support the child/children and then the number is set. If the obligee spends the money on something else, it is presumed that he/she used money from somewhere else on the children.
It is entirely possible that you are paying too much in support though, and it may need to be recalculated. I do not know how child support is calculated in your state so I would encourage you to contact the Cordell and Cordell office in your state and request an initial consultation to determine what steps you will need to take.
To arrange an initial consultation to discuss divorce rights for men with a Cordell & Cordell attorney, including Tennessee divorce lawyer Kimberly Gray, contact Cordell & Cordell.
If I had kids with the girl that I was never married with. I understand her filing for child support. But for spousal support is that even possible or ilegal without a marriage certificate. Because first of all we were never married so I don’t see how she would possess a marriage certificate in court
