My Son that I had custudy over just turned 18 and my other son is 9 years old that used to live in North Carolina but his mother up and moved to Houston Texas has not provided me with a locate address there or school information on my youngest son. She recently called North Carolina CSC asked for the supported to increased based on my oldest son that I had custody of turned 18 he trying go to college but NC said that because he turned 18 that have to review the case again even thought I just came from Court in North Carolina Last July to have it lower because I just retired from the Military in 2010 1 July. The Mother continues to change her phone and moving around that I can keep a relationship with my youngest son. I really need some good advise on this case. I have a Lawyer in the area of Greenboro. But I am really tired of mt ex calling my second family my mother and sisters and brothers about helping her with youngest son that I told her on numbereous time if you can handle him I will take him to make things easier but it has to be in writing because she is sometimes and bound to act crazy to try to get him back once I get him and estasblish a relationship.

My ex has has stop working or reduced her hours so that support payment will increase but this has happen before. She working for the federal goverment TSA for almost 7 years . I have asked my Lawyer to asked for whole year pay statements.
Thank you for using JustAnswer. I am researching your issue and will respond shortly.
In Texas and in North Carolina, there is no statute or case law holding parents to a duty to college support in the absence of an agreement. I assume that the child support decree was in NC, and if so, they would continue to have jurisdiction over this case. In NC child support terminates at 18 years, unless attending secondary school full time or up to age 20, whichever comes first.
So if you did not have an agreement to provide support for college, then you're under no obligation to. There's zero legal support to compel you to do so.
Now they can review the case, but the only outcome I can see happening is that the child support for your son that is going to college and is 18 is terminated, not increased, especially if you don't have an agreement otherwise to provide child support through college.
