Re: Child support

There is not a direct answer to your question. First, the kind of custody you have and how long you have had custody matters. If, for example, you are deemed to be a de facto custodian, you might be responsible for child support. If you are not a de facto custodian, then it is unlikely that you would be responsible.

The wisest thing to do is to go in for a consult with a family law practitioner and get a "check-up", just like you would with a doctor, to see what your odds are.
