QUESTION
Should I continue to pay child support to the father even after he reports the child missing since over a year ago?
Asked on Apr 16th, 2014 on Child Custody - Nebraska
More details to this question:
The child was improperly placed with a father who could care less and the child has since April 2013, ran away. The father kept her away from me for seven years and when child protective services called me looking for her, I find out the father reported her missing for over a year now. I am ordered and was paying this father child support since the child was with him. Can I modify this support order to stop paying?

See an attorney, generally changes to support and custody orders are not retroactive but would act prospectively relieving you of future liabilities.

You should stop paying the child support; and request that the Court modify the support order to zero at the earliest possible time.

Only if you go to court and ask. You might also ask for a return of amounts paid since April, 2013.
