I was wondering this...My wife is filing for divorce in Jan 07. I am not going to sign the paperwork. I believe after a year is when the divorce would be final. Would I owe here for back child support the day she filed? Or does it start when are officially divorced?

Why won't you work with her to come to an agreement that is in the best interests of your children instead of refusing to cooperate at all? Refusing to cooperate is the easiest way for you to get screwed over completely because you are not fighting for your interests. Are you sure you want to do that?

When she files she can request temporary orders for support and then yes, you will be court ordered to pay starting then and there. Until you are court ordered to pay support you are not LEGALLY obligated to pay the support. But what about your moral obligations to your children? What sort of a person are you that would behave this way?

Seriously, I think you need to reconsider your attitude about the whole process. If you do nothing, she will be able to get everything and anything she asks for in court. If you remain passive throughout the process, no one is going to look out for your rights. Is that really what you want?

Maybe you do not want to get a divorce and that is why you are not going to sign the papers. But you cannot force your wife to stay married to you. It is better to take an active role in the divorce process than trust your soon-to-be-X and the courts to look out for your interests.

Think about it.
