No it’s agreed as part of the divorce settlement and he pays her directly. 

Then it is considered court ordered if it is contained in the settlement order agreed to by the court

OK. So that is good since he has a legal court settlement. And if he has the paper trail to show he is making payments then he is covered in that aspect. I suspect her claims of him not paying can be easily proven wrong.

 

The second issue is her case against him asking for more money. Legally she can ask for more. That doesn't mean she will get it. But she can ask. It will be up to the courts again to see if the settlement needs to be adjusted. She will likely need to state her case on why she needs more CS. 

 

Have your husband to start collecting every piece of evidence he can conjure up. Even text, emails, and such. Seek good lawyers. Hopefully, this can get resolved sooner rather than later but be overly prepared.

He’s not my husband yet he’s my fiancé and I’m 41 days post interview in additional administrative processing scared this is going to get me denied.

A federal case for non payment of child support? Questions his character and ability to support me I guess. 

There is nothing besides certain crimes on his record (AWA-related) that would interfere with his ability to petition someone for a K-1.

My thoughts exactly. I don't have kids, and clearly have no idea how much they cost, but that seems extreme.

It's all based on the income of the payer.  Since he is a doctor.....

Depends on state law,  could go longer if he must continue as long as they are still a student

No but it could call into question his affidavit of support I guess.

18 but he would support them voluntarily after that.

Mine is the later of 18 or graduated from high school with a max of 20 if they are still in high school but not yet graduated

The only federal involvement that is likely ro occur ---  IF non-payment has been documented by the child-support-governing state agency -- would be a hold placed on his US passport or any application for a passport.  Even that shouldn't effect your K-1.

Does anyone know if it’s going to get me denied if  a federal case has been raised? Like I said I’m in ap post interview.

It would not call into question his affidavit of support (assuming here that he makes enough to sponsor you).

I understand that you're worried but as far as your visa journey is concerned, this is a non-issue.
