Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Here is my question - I went through a divorce back in 2002 in Florida. I am the custodial parent, dad is the non-custodial parent and dad was ordered to pay child support. �We have a son (soon turning 15; son was 4 at the time of divorce). �Soon after the divorce, dad moves back to TN; for the �majority of my son's life , he ended up living with his dad because I was struggling bad financially. �I've never paid child support nor his dad when my son was with me during summers or lived with me for his 6th grade year. �I would send money for birthdays and holidays and would pay for his travels to Florida. �His dad never helped. �Now my son has gotten into a lot of trouble during his teenage years while with his dad in TN. �The state has taken my son into custody for unruly delinquent behavior. �I've just learned my ex was served with a summons to go to court for child support in TN though the divorce and child support guidelines had been setup in Florida during the divorce 2002. �Can state of TN summons me (custodial parent) as well for child support?�

Pronably not, as there's no court order requiring you to pay child support.
