My husband from the past 2 weeks I have 2 kids , both are at daycare program(CCS). What I need to know is do I need to open a case for childsupport or what to do ??? cuz I have an appointment at ccs & I told them the situation & they asking me a proof of child support but I have understand that childsupport can proceed only when a divorce is signed. My husband & I had an agreement (by letter) attaching the amount he will provide me bi-weekly will this be enough or do I have to open a case in childsupport eventhough we are not divorce & don't know if we are getting back again??? Any advices will be helpful.... :)
PD.
We are separated but not sure if we want a divorce it was just a break to think things through... there was no cheating or nothing bad it was mutual agreement.... :

If you and your husband can come to some out of court agreement, which is a rarity, do it.
However, because you have two children to think about, it may be wise to move your marriage, separation or divorce through the court system. Seek the advise of a member of social services department, marriage counselor, clergy, attorney or even a close friend who you can trust and who may have had similar experiences.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt was once asked..."who comes first in your life, your husband or your children?"...she replied, "I put my husband first, so, together we could put our children first".

If you are legally seperated, then you should have a legal agreement stating what he should pay you for support, etc...
You don't have to get a divorce to receive child support. If you are seperated on your own (mutual agreement without an attorney) then you can drite up papers and get then notorized by a notary at the bank to make then binding. If he doesn't pay you anything at all while you are not together divorced or not, then it is called "abandonment" and he can go to jail. If the daycare program wants proof of child support then a notorized agreement on paper is legal and they have to accept that. Trust me I have been through all of this before. An attorney would be your best bet, but the fees are ridiculous to pay if you and your husband may reconcile.

Those are his children and he needs to support them. Yes, open up a case and even if things change and you guys get back together, you can drop the case. No, you don't have to be divorced to receive or be eligible for CS. The only thing that they will accept are receipts for the child support (money order receipts or canceled checks.)if you don't know if you are getting back together or not just go ahead and do it the right way, file and cover your as*. A lot of guys say that they will do things one way and turn around and not do them at all. Good Luck

I think your letter will suffice, my daughter has never had a legal child support award and yet her bf provides signed letter of what he pays to support their child for daycare program requirements.

Child support is set by the state that you live in .... you can not make your own agreement on it unless it more that what the state want him to pay

If you are still married, technically and legally, you should still be sharing all financial resources, and by law, you should have access to each other's finances
