My boyfried is paying childsupport...what happens if he get remarried and has more kids?

Question

Does his child support go down? I just don't see how he would be able to survive and take care of a new family? Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

If he gets married and has other kids, it will still be the same, he will still have to pay the same child support he is paying you now.

Answer 2

if you are recieving support i hope it is through the court system and not just cash in hand, if so i suggest you get things going with friend of the court, and if he were to marry someone else and they have children it is possible that the child support could be lowered due to the fact that he must support more children, it dosnt matter who was born first, support ia not based on the oder of which the child was born, i have heard many complaints from moms that get angry cause their child was born first and support was later lowered due to the fact that the dad had fathered another child and now must divide up his income between his children and so and so on, i also know of a man who has fatherde 17 children with various women and his support is 10.00 per week per child, because of his income, you know that pissed off alot of baby momma, also if you have no children together and he pays support and the two of you marry and start a family, yes support will possibly go down, but you really have to ask yourself, do you also want to contribute money for his other child or children, and what if he gets behind in payments and gets picked up and goes to jail, it happens all the time, will you have the money to bail him out, and if not he may have lost wages due to any amount of time incarcerated, i warn people all the time about marrying someone with children and having to deal wiyh support payment issues,it takes serious commitment to the spouse that pays and the child of the spouse as well as any other children that come along in the marriage, im not saying you shouldnt marry someone with kids, there are many happy blended families out there, but it isnt for everyone, im sorry i disagree with dottie, because i know ppl. many ppl. that support is not based on who was born first, at least not in the state which i live, imagine giving more yo your first born and less to the second and third, why should it be different if the parents are not together

Answer 3

hello,
i am not here to bash you.....but i am a mother of a child that the father decided to marry a girl with 3 kids and he tried to get the child support lowered due to the new family.....but the courts would not let him....due to the other child needs support to.....they didn't ask to be brought in to this crazy world....so why should he get out of it ....just because he wants to start a new family doesn't mean to turn his back on the other child.....do you think that its fare if it was done to you and you were that child????also why should the child suffer????i am not saying that all mothers do right by the money that they get because some of them don't......but i am saying this to you if you had a child by him and you recieved support from him would you want your support payments droped because he got married to another woman????before you ask a queation you really need to think of the out come and put your self in the situation of the other person and then ask the question.....he should have thought about it before it happened and maybe he wouldn't be in the situation that he is in.......and you need to put your self as the mother of the other child.....why is it her responsibilty to do the full support of that child if he could stick his penis in her and make that child....it should be 1/2 and 1/2.....after all the child didn't ask to be here and it took 2 to tango...she didn't make it by her self....remember that.....

Answer 4

He would have to go back to Probate Court with verifying papers and they will most likely lower the payments for him,but remember,the child support will continue until the child(ren) have graduated from High School or College.

Answer 5

In the state that I live in it doesn't matter if the person paying the support is married, but how many kids they have does lower the amount, but not that much.

Answer 6

According to the law, if the children carry his name and he is listed on the birth certificate as their father his responsibility is to them first.

If he marries and has other children your children remain his first consideration. It's the law! If he goes back to court claiming that he can one longer afford the current rate of child support it may be lowered but it is doubtful. He will be told that he should have taken his financial situation into consideration before he married or had additional children. YOUR CHILDREN, came first so their needed come first. That's the law, it may not seem fair to some but it is what it is. So if u are called to court regarding this issue remember your children's rights.

Good luck

Answer 7

Child support depends on how much a person makes. It doesn't go down because he gets married.

Answer 8

there is NO WAY he can get out of child support. it won't go down unless his income drops dramatically and hers goes up. if he were to start a new family, he'll have to do what it takes to support them as well. but if his income goes up, child support can to. it can get reevaluated once a year, so it could go up every year. it's just something that you have to accept as part of your relationship. it's best just to pay the child support as ordered by the court and keep her happy, that way she may not take him back to court to get it increased. it is actually cheaper to pay child support than to have custody of the child(ren).

Answer 9

It depends on what state you live in. Most states would go by what he makes and who else he is supporting. Then it would go down. You may want to do some research either on the net or maybe ask a lawyer. :)

Answer 10

He would still have to pay child support and I would say it probably will stay the same.
