Child support has nothing to do with marital status. I has everything to do with parental status. If he is the father, he is obligated to help support his child(ren) whether he is legally bound to the mother, lives with the mother, or is uninvolved with the mother. You may be thinking of alimony or spousal support.

i'm not claiming any particular understanding, yet i'm fairly particular that your ex spouse's earnings is the really component determining how a lot assist you should pay to help your little ones. sure, the step father IS wealthy. great, cuz your little ones stay a very great existence, with unique vacation trips. yet, the step dad isn't the daddy- you're. you'll scream IF the pal of the courtroom higher your baby help, because your new spouse were given a extreme paying pastime. yet, you experience lowering your help is ideal, cuz the step father is wealthy. the final analysis is that you chosen to have youngsters. So, once you remarried, you and your new spouse knew you already had economic popular jobs. in case you may want to not locate the money for to have extra little ones, then you truthfully don't have had extra little ones. i quite doubt you'll locate many right here have a lot sympathy for a guy making $ninety,000 each year, wanting to pay a lot less help. As for residing in an extreme priced position-Wasn't that YOUR decision? There ARE 50 states. you chosen to stay in an extreme priced position, pay the extreme priced expenses. Or, bypass. i'm not attempting to furnish you a troublesome time. yet, anticipating the step dad to pay YOUR charges is merely incorrect. Your youthful baby will be 18, and out of highschool in 6 years, 4 years for the elder. till then, conflict. Why can't your new spouse artwork? Any earnings she earned, might want to haven't any result on your help, or perhaps a crummy pastime might want to herald $15-20 thousand each year. Balancing your funds by providing a lot less for your little ones is a awful idea. Sorry.

He should want to take care of his child 1st of all but, she has the right to put him on child support if he isn't supportive. If he is the father then he should have his child legitimized in his name and have visitation set up with the mother. Try to remember that "some" women will put a man on child support out of spite because of a break up or other reasons even if he is taking care of his responsibility. When he goes to court the Judge will say all that he did for the child was a gift to the child and now must abide by the rules of that State's Juvenile Courts. Call your State's Juvenile Court System and ask them what he should do. He would be better off trying to work it out with her without the State's interference.

Children deserve the support of both parents. He is morally obligated to pay child support, and he can be legally required to make child support payments. Why would he not want to support his child? He made the child with this woman, and it is not the child's fault if the parent's don't take precautions. He needs to be a man and take care of his responsibilities.

Your brother wants to leave his girlfriend and you are not sure if he is obligated to financially take care of his child.
Because your brother wants to get out of the relationship with the young lady does not mean he can get out of the relationship with a person (son/daughter) he helped bring into this world.
I would yes he is 50:50 obligated to take care of this child, physically, emotionally, financially etc. And he should not wait until a court makes him do it. He should do these things willingly as he is a father. If he didn't want to be a father and take care of these responsibilities, he should have invested in condoms.
I hope you learn from the situation.

Yes, he will pay child support. He needs to get a custody order in place along with a schedule for visitation. He will be ordered by they court to pay child support. He should seek advice from an attorney as soon as possible.

Yes he has to pay child support. The child is his so he is obligated to support it financially. Just because they may no longer be together the child still needs to eat, have a home, clothes, medical care, etc. It is up to both parents to provide that.

Yes, he is liable for child support. How could he think otherwise. He helped make the child and married or not he still created a human being who will need care for at least 18 years.
Or as my daddy put it, "IF YOU WANT TO DANCE YOU HAVE TO PAY THE FIDDLER."

He made a baby, now he has to support this child till he or she is 18yrs old. His biggest responsibility is to be a good father to his child. That includes providing everything he can for his child.
