If Divorce papers have been filed but no court date is set yet, can I try to Collect Child Support now?

Child support is often separate from divorce procedings. If you filed in MN. Then once your date is finalized then child support will come due. Usually from the date of separation or the origional date of filing. You might be able to expidite the support issue now that you are living in ND. I suggest you file in ND for support. The worst that they can say is no but I doubt that is going to happen. Child Support is usually something states are hyperactive about collecting. My ex and I are not together but there is no divorce papers filed and I pay support through the state that I live in to her in LA. All because she filed for welfare benifits after she left me. Good luck.
