Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

I am divorced and the mother of a 16 yr old who is living with his father. We both have legal custody of my son and I had given DCF custody so he could go into the STAR program for troubled teens and then DCF gave custody to his father. I am currently paying child support of $75/week and providing health and dental insurance to my son. My ex said he is going to court to obtain full legal custody of him. Would I still be responsible for paying child support in that situation?

Yes unless your ex opts to cover it and in that case your support payment will likely increase.
