can I hire a lawyer to rescind a child support order with sTate

  First, it would depend what the judgment/order for support says.  If it required him to pay medical insurance then you could pursue recovery for same if he has not paid it.  However, as to basic child support itself,  it is a little late to try and modify support now since your child is close to 18 and child support ends then (unless your order said it continued until the child graduated high school or turned 18, whichever comes later).    On the other hand, if the father filed a fraudulent financial affidavit, you can pursue taking him back to court and if you can prove the fraud then the court can set aside the prior child support amount and order him to pay what he should have paid to begin with.  Going through this process, however, is a time consuming procedure, and, as such, will be costly if you hire private counsel.   You can request that the state  investigate this matter, but the system is so overburdened it is unlikely to happen.     Sometimes it is just better to move on.  It is unfortunate that this father did not take more interest in his child, but I am sure you have made up for it.
