unexpected twist

[janet7k]

While the answers will be important, the fact that you were on CO medicaid during your pregnancy, might establish the child support in CO which has Jurisdiction over dad but TX will have jurisdiction over custody since the child is a Texan. If dad fails to coporate, one of the 2 states will enter default judgements against him. Collection of child support will go through CO. Everything else is up to him to file for, custody and visitation which will be in TX

Thanks Rmet.

Clarification CO Medicaid Aug.- Dec. Texas Medicaid Jan.- birth.

No, this is a negotiating tactic. Once her lawyer finds out, she/he will seek 20% , the thought here is that the state will not be picking up the slack if this CP needs help if dad isn't putting in his share.

Texas will have the case, I am POSITIVE. Texas has an interstate child support entity that takes care of these type of things, make sure you are dealing with them.

Follow-up: Attorney assured me that all orders will be in accordance with CO law, and NCP will have to appear in TX court to get visitation.

So, if he would have co-operated we could have had all this set up for free by conference call, buyt now seems the only things gained are more time, trouble and expense...ah well, his deal I guess.

Where visitation is concerned...yep, its going to be his deal and he is going to have to file in TX.

However CS will get based on the laws/guidelines for CO...which really doesn't make much difference for you.

oops, I twisted my states...meant to say all will be in accordance with TX law including CS.

As figured. There is no reason for CO to be involved, the child afterall, is a TEXAN

Here is your link to bookmark. Chapters 151 through 159 pertain to you and are extremely important for you to UNDERSTAND. Read them, become familiar with them and if you have any questions about them, I'll be glad to help you.

Good luck.
