    Default Recalculating Child Support

    In 2008, my child supporticon order was recalculated. Provisions were not put in for when my son turned 18. He is now 18 and in college. Do I need to go back to court to have my support order modified for just one child?
    Also, for the past few years, I have been disabled, unable to work, and in school. My current wife pays the bills and we get help from her parents. I have also racked up some student loans. My former wife started a new job for higher pay, recieved a large bonus, and spends my money extravagantly (not on the children). I pay 100% of my son's college expenses, car expenses, food, etc. I also pay 50% of their medical/dental insurance which she is supposed to maintain. She has refused to help out with any of the college expenses, even though I can barely afford to keep my son in school. My son was recently re-diagnosed with a mental illness which he does not wish to disclose to his mom. This results in his needing medication costing about $250 per month. She has continuously refused to provide him or me with the health, dental, or pharmacy insurance cards or information. I finally had to contact her HR benefits office and convince them to give me the info.
    My question is this: When the support is recalculated, can I be allowed to keep insurance on the kids so this does not become an issue? My current wife works at a world renowned children's hospital, so her insurance should be preferable. My ex-wife used to work at this same hospital, which is why we left the insurance with her.
    Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yes, you must go back to court to have the support recalculated for one less child. The new statute in place will require definite dates for future termination.

    If you son is college age, he is no longer under the jurisdiction of the court. He can directly give you access to records. Same kind of decision for health insurance.
