The courts are supposed to go by the father's tax forms and they make an amount that's fair to him and to the child. My kids father makes enough that he is supposed to pay $350 per child per month but he conveniently got that reduced to 1/2 cause he turned around and got someone else pregnant. Courts took pity on him.
As far as I'm concerned $40 per month is not enough for the cost of living for any child at any age. I'd be going back to court. Also, each year you can go for a raise to child support that takes into account for the raise of "cost per living" that government says we are entitled to.
Hope this helps you at least in the right direction. I'd be suing for more if I were you. You should get at minimum $40 per week, not per month.
Good luck!!!

your state's Department of Child Support will likely have a support calculator on their website that you can use to figure out what is fair. additionally, the child support office will help you get a court order to increase the payment amount or get a court order if you do not already have one. it may take some time, but it is free.

depending on what state you are in you need to go to the child support office and ask them to help you get support. That way you do not have to pay for an attorney and they can not force someone to work, but when he is working they can garish his paychecks, they can also get his money if he fills taxes. And you don;t have to worry about bringing him back to court, that is child supports job. Research you local child support office and good luck.

only one thing to say and I'm sorry to be the one who tells you this.
if he lives in another state there ant $hit you can do,
unless you move to that state.
child is to get 25% of his pay but if he don't work courts set a small amount until he gets a job.
but may also have to pay back child support.
go check with A G office may be a program you can get on for help and they will look for him to get the money back

The courts determine the amount by how much the other parent makes. If you are on assistance, then talk to your caseworker and they can explain it more to you. If not, talk to legal aid about getting a lawyer to get an order of support established. Good luck:)

In MN the position I stay, the state regulations stipulate that the recipient of kid help is entitled to get carry of 25% of the ADJUSTED earnings of the payor. The courtroom has a calculation that we artwork and then it really is agreed upon and written into some type of a courtroom ordered baby help order or (in my case) the Divorce Decree. That being suggested, 25% of not some thing continues to be not some thing. My ex is an "independant contractor" and is "self-employed" as a salesclerk. He can artwork his earnings to exhibit in straightforward words as a lot as he needs to because he can write off all kinds of issues because he works from abode. in the experience that your infant's father is paying $40.00 in conserving with month, if it replaced into ordered through the courtroom, that would were all he replaced into required to pay. contained in the state of MN, i can ask to have the youngster help adjusted each and every 2 years, really if i imagine he perhaps earning more beneficial than he replaced into when we divorced. (BTW: My son replaced into 2 a million/2 at the same time as he left me to marry yet another woman.) so some distance as your infant's father residing in yet another state, in case you understand the position he's and the position he's operating, all you pick is a criminal specialist and they could help you out with getting him to pay what he could be paying. ensure you've the money garnished from his paychecks. (The company receives an order from the courtroom to carry you money out of his verify and then deposit it into an account so that you'll nicely be paid.) commence with inspite of dept on your close by authorities center handles baby and kinfolk amenities. they could be able that could help you out and get you pointed contained in the route of criminal information. solid success.
