Question on Child Support?
I have a question about child support. My dad agreed to pay for all my college tuition in full, but he recently changed his mind. Well I am 19 now, and he no longer has to pay child support. Well, for most of my life he has only paid my mom $112 dollars, but I know that he makes more than that. My stepmom is a royal *****, and she did the bookkeeping at the company he is vice president at, and I think she fudged the books. My question is if they can get their federal income tax papers and show that he made more than what he did, is it possible to take him back to court for what he should have paid. If he should have paid her even as little as 200, when you do the math for 14 years, it comes to 16000. Is it possible to have that fixed?
As far as aggravating the situation, this would be a last resort. I do not want to take it to that point, because I love my dad. Really, I do. It's not about emotions, it's that I really want to continue college, and he agreed to pay for it. I know it's unusual for the courts to do that, but I really think my stepmom messed with his check stubs. In that case, it seems that would constitute fraud, right? As for it would go to my mom, I am fully aware of that but she would use it to pay my tuition.

It's possible but do you really want to aggravate the situation?
You have to consider if it is really worth it. Not for revenge or any other emotion?

No, the court won't do that. His child support obligation died when you reached the age of majority and you can't go back and ask for an increase of child support for all those years. If his agreement to pay for your college was simply a private verbal commitment, you're out of luck if he chooses to renege. It's a different story if there is a legal court bound agreement to pay. I suspect the former, in which the only thing you can do is to talk to him and ask him to show integrity and honor his commitment.

They wouldn't even entertain the idea of checking all the "books" in order to make sure he paid the right amount.
You're an adult now, you survived through the $112 a month payment - what's the real problem here?
I've got bad news for you...your parents are not responsible for your education! MANY students are putting themselves through college dear. You need to put your big girl panties on and put your effort into applying for grants and scholarships, NOT finding ways to resent your dad.

Highly unlikely - your over 18 now
This would be for your mother to pursue as she was the one that raised you -
SHE should've been the one to take him to court long time ago
