writes:I divorsed my husband 10 years ago. We had a court agreement in which he agreed to pay maintenance for both children. One is now grown up and quite rightly, he has stopped paying for him. For the past 10 months he has stopped paying for the second child and refuses to do so saying that that "He has all the evidence not to pay me a single penny". I feel that the only option is to take him to court, but I am fearful of his claim. I may not be the perfect mother, but I am loving, feed, cloth and provide support for my son. Can my ex husband stop paying maintenance without the court's approval? Reply to this Question |

His financial obligation still continues until an order from the court has been issued. I'd file contempt, and take him to court. Remember it's not what's in the parents best interest, maintenance is in the child's best interest.
