Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Do you have documentation of his failure to pay the mortgage, etc? I assume that there was a custody and support agreement that was filed with the court pursuant to the divorce. Was this order modified to show the new arrangement regarding payment of the mortgage in lieu of child support or was that in the original agreement? Without having all of the facts it is not really possible to determine the best way to proceed or what your options are.

This answer does not create an attorney-client relationship.

You should file a petition with the Family Court for Child Support. You may go to the intake room at the Family Court and a clerk will help you complete the petition form.
