i am still married but seperated, am i entitled to child support payments?

Answer 1

yes, of course. You need a lawyer.

Answer 2

yes.the moment you two leagaly declared different domiciles the custodial parent became entitled to support
for the child i.a.w state laws.
the amount is dependant on incomes you two have,if one is unemployed the other will provide the max under state law.this is for the custodial parent,the custodial parent is
the one who is entitled to support.
talk to the states child walfare agency.child support is
not the right of either parent,its the right of the child.
neither parent have a say in weather the child is entitled.
the law says the child is.
the quicker you get the ball rollin on this ,the easier it is
for the support to br enforced.he can't run from state to state to avoid it scince all fifty states are on the same page.it's also a punishable offense of 1000 dollars and a year imprisonment.
if he owes back support 3000 or more then income tax both state and federal will be garnished.buisness license's
could be revoked as well as passports.
you can go on line to find out more,just google "collecting past due support"
why am i tellin u this?
cause i supported my kids and i fully support any custidial
parent seeking support for their children.i however don't feel any sympathy for parents that blow it off,cause the
kids suffer AND THE KIDS COME FIRST!!!!!

Answer 3

You certainly are. But sadly, you will probably have to go to court to make sure you get them. You will have to get a lawyer and file an action in court and you and your husband will have to appear. A judge will rule on how much support should be paid on a temporary basis. Once a divorce is final, the support payments could be modified or left as they are.
Further, when your husband becomes your ex, you should also monitor his income because your support payments can be adjusted according to what he makes.

Answer 4

If the children are living with you yes. Child support and seperation/divorce are two different things.

Answer 5

Is the seperation legal. If so, then the judge should have set up child support.

If only a seperation without any legal formalities, then you are still entitled, however, you have no legal standing.

Answer 6

You're not entitled to child support, but your kids are. They have to eat even if you and your ex are not going through the process of divorce yet, don't they?

Answer 7

You need to get a legal seperation and ask your atty. about the possibility of child support.

Answer 8

Yes but you will need to go to court and have child support ordered. He/she should be helping out with the child no matter what, which doesn't always happen. If you go to court, DOR can garnish the other parents wages and monitor when they have paid and when the haven't. Without DOR it is only your say against theirs. best of luck

Answer 9

Yes you are. It should be part of the seperation agreement though. I had to pay while my ex and I were just seperated.

Answer 10

You probably should pay for some of your kids stuff. Just give an amount that you actually think will go to your kid. You're going to be definitely responsible once you get divorced. Maybe it's a good way to reach out to your spouse. Your child isn't at fault for your separation. Give what you can.

Answer 11

Depends on if you went to court to be formally separated. If so, and your lawyer requested it and the judge granted it, then you would be entitled. If he or you just moved out, no. Go see a lawyer. Get whatever support you can...quick!
