JUST RECENT MY WIFE HAS TO PAY ME CHILD SUPPORT STARTING NEXT MONTH
BECAUSE OF THIS MY WIFE GOT HERSELF A LAWERY TO FIGHT THE CHILD SUPPORT
ALSO MY WIFE WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT ALL WOMEN GET CHILD SUPPORT
BECAUSE OF THAT SHE WOULD THREATEN ME WITH THAT
WHEN LIVE TOGETHER
MY QUESTION IS HOW WOULD THE JUDGE RULE
ASKING PEOPLE WHO WENT THROUGH CHILD SUPPORT AND CUSTODY

Answer 1

the support laws vary by state, but most agree that the custodial parent receives the support. In most states now, they take BOTH incomes and add them together, then divide it to see what percentage each parent is responsible for, then take the support percentage (21% for 1, 28% for 2, 35% for 3 and 48% for 4 or more) and the parent that pays pays the percentage of the amount due. Confusing isn't it. I will give BOTH of you this advice, THE KIDS COME FIRST BEFORE THE STUPIDLY OF DIVORCE AND CUSTODY! work this out, but be adults and do not harm the kids by your fighting anymore.

Good luck, it is hell.

I know, I am in it.

Answer 2

If the kids live with you and have been and she works two jobs no time with the kids the judge will rule in your favor. unless she can prove you unfit, another factor, how old are the kids? can they voice their opinion on where they want to live? You need a lawyer. I am currently fighting for custody of my kids. They have only lived with their father for only 3 years the rest with me and now they want to come home he has a domestic violence record 2 burgalarys and arson with attempt I have no record and the judge gave him temp custody, imagine that so you really can never tell what a judge will do. (he made accusations that I used drugs and I live in another state and as soon as I have a home study done they can come home.) so please be careful and do everything in the best interest of the children. Good Luck I will pray for you.

Answer 3

Why are you fighting? You have a great system figured out. Do either of you require support for the kids? You seem to be working things out for the best of the kids interest already.

Can you each support your own household without support? IF not look into reducing expenses in the household over budget.

Answer 4

Not all women get child support. I think it has to do with the income and living expenses for the child. Sounds like you have a fight on your hands. I'd make sure you have a good lawyer and of course you don't want to punish your children through your ex. So if paying the support will help them, then do it. State to the judge that you would like receipts for the money, what she buys for them. But in reality, what she does with it is what she does with it. You have no contol over that. I was pretty easy on my ex. He paid me 250.00 a month for 1 child and I knew he was having just as much money troubles as I was, so I told him to stop paying it. I would ask for help if I needed it and it worked out fine. But alot of divorces aren't that easy. Good luck.

Answer 5

I don't know the answer to your question, but I feel very sad for the whole situation. Seems like everyone is too busy, it's just a routine. Fighting about money, having strangers in a court decide who gets what and how much. I wish couples would put their differences aside when it comes to raising their children. It would make such a difference in their future.

Answer 6

I am in the middle of a mess too....here is my advice: who gives a crap who pays what the question is what is best for the kids. The judge will look at what is best for the children and only that. He may take in to account what the children feel. It sounds like a hard schedule to keep. I feel bad for the kids, seek mediation

Answer 7

basically basically because of the form you have written your fact right here, i might say, no. your persons are asking you to no longer combat on your toddler?? Why precisely? Are you an no longer worth make certain? You suggested your mom exceeded directly to the excellent beyond and so there's no longer every person to look after her...are you speaking approximately basically babysitting purposes? because of the fact it relatively is not your mom's interest to look after your toddler besides. a toddler needs the two mum and dad from the time it relatively is conceived until eventually adulthood (and greater than a number of cases nicely previous that). there's no longer something incorrect with a make certain or mum and dad making use of a daycare for while they're at artwork so as that does no longer be a situation...or possibly you does no longer ought to apply one ought to your toddler's mom prefer to take her in the time of that factor if she is unfastened from artwork or the different duties herself. You which contain that your spouse works as a waitress would not particularly element in except you're saying you grants a greater physically powerful existence on your toddler interior the long-term...having a house for her to stay in, continually have nutrition on the table, stay in a community with great colleges and threat, and so forth. there are greater than a number of waitresses available offering damn sturdy lives for his or her youngsters. in case you particularly want your toddler and experience which you're greater greater healthful than your spouse to supply a greater physically powerful existence interior the long-term on your toddler and likewise experience which you're able to do it as a unmarried make certain, then i might easily decide for actual custody. yet, do it interior the main suitable interest of your toddler and characteristic the arrogance which you would be waiting to deal with it on your individual and ensure your daughter nevertheless does have her mom in her existence...making joint custody outstanding particularly of visitation for you and the mummy.

Answer 8

Answer 9

It's really something your lawyer should deal with. She is going to make this hard on the kids, and of course your not helping matters.

This is why God hates divorce. But please remember God loves you. Pray.
