I reside in Alabama, and that is where i'm court ordered to pay child support. My 2 children are 16 and 19. My son is to drop from support, but my ex is un-cooperative, and i have to make a modification to remove him from support, and remove $280.00/mo. child care that is still on the previous order. When the children were small, she relocated without my consent, and moved to Texas. Can i have to Alabama order filed in Texas, and do my modification there, to take advantage of the 18 year age of majority there, instead of the 19 year age of majority in Alabama?
By default, Alabama retains jurisdiction. The kids live in Texas. You are in favor of moving jurisdiction to Texas. If your ex is OK with a change of jurisdiction, you should be able to get it done easily.
If she doesn't want jurisdiction changed, you will probably prevail after a small squabble that will cost you more in legal fees that the one year of child support you stand to gain by the change.
