I live in Texas and my Ex-wife is attempting to take me back for more child support for my 1 biological son.: I live in Texas and my Ex-wife is attempting to take me back for more child support for my 1 biological son. I have lived with my fiance and her 2 children for 6 years. The children's biological father is deceased and my fiance is a widow. I have claimed them on my tax return for 5 years as head of household. On the OAG website it says that if I have other children not before the court, living in my house and have a duty to support then I would owe 16% of my net income to my ex. My question is what counts as a "duty to support"? I have read all of the Texas Family Codes and I can't find any elaboration to this term.
Lewis’s answer:
Duty to support means that you would be required to support them whether you wanted to or not. You have a duty to support your natural born children and any child you adopt.

Husband refuses to be served: my husband has been avoiding being served for almost 2 months now. he has not given us (my son and i, i am pregnant) any financial support. i have a bachelor's degree which i have never used that is 5 years old. if i wanted to go to school to train to be a nurse, is there any way i can have the court require him to pay for it? he has left me for another woman, which i have lots of proof. they have both harassed me on multiple occasions. he has also been spending a lot of money on her and claiming he has no money for us. i need to start my life over, any information would be helpful. thank you
Lewis’s answer:
You can probably get him served by substituted service. However, as another attorney stated, you will probably not be allowed to finalize the divorce while you remain pregnant.
It is possible that you might qualify for spousal support, but the court would not order him to pay for your school after you are divorced.
I'd recommend you hire an attorney to help you out.
