She agreed not to ask for child support because I forgave her for over 8,000.00 in back child support she owed me. She bribed the kids to live with her again, then got into financial problems and now is suing for child support, but I am now a full time student. Her only interest is financial gain. The bills she has to pay has nothing to do with me. Do judges look these motives?

No! That is Federal money, and she is not allowed to touch it.

Nothing that has to do with federal loan or grant $ can be factored into child support. It is not earned income. Although you can be legally taken to court for the support of your children, it is based on your income and hers as well. If you are working, it will be based on your wages as they are now. If you are not working it will be based on minimum wage. Don't think that it is financial gain when child support is awarded for the care of children. Trust me, the money she will get from you will not be a drop in the bucket for what she has to do to take care of your children. Take the angry element out and think more about your childrens saftey and wellbeing. Remember when it was you who had custody and how much $ you spent to take care of them. She will have it hard with or without your help. Your motivation should not to be dwelling on the bills she has to pay, but on the lifestyle you want for your children. Far to often when couples break up and there are children involved, the first thing the parents do is think about the money, not the children. Do yourself a favor and don't worry about it. Just take pride in the fact that you will be doing all you can for your children when and if child support is awarded.

When I was working in child support enforcement I know that noncustodial parents who were students were assumed to have the ability to earn minimum wage and support was based on that amount on many occasions. (If they quit a more lucrative job than that to go back to school then the support was based on the more lucrative job because that was considered to be in the child's best interest.) I never came across any cases where loans and Pell grants were a factor. I can't imagine loans being considered income. The grants might be since they are money you are receiving that does not require repayment.
Good luck!

no, she can not touch that money, nor can it be used against you in court as income. tell the judge you are trying to better yourself to support the kids better. there is some kind of waver you can get to put off paying all the support while in school, or at least make it economicable for you. Also when you go to court, also take the papers that she still owes you back support., she won't blink an eye to get every cent she can. she wasn't responcible when she had to pay and she won't be responsible now.
