My ex-wife is asking for more money to help out. We already signed deforce papers and agreed on a montly childsupport amount of money see wants for him. Now after being deforced for 2 months she said she finds raising our son alone and dealing with a illness i new nothing about till this point is causing her lots of stress and she wants to stop working. She then wants more money to support her and our son. Is she allowed to ask for this. I thought i only had to provide money for my son not too take care of her and him completaly. Please help?!!!!!!!!

Well .. first of all she can take u to court to try and raise the level of child support at any given time..
Second if her "illness" is causing her not to work then she should get on disability..
Third.. if she chooses to not work even though she can work.. the judge will still make her responsible for a certain percentage towards the financial obligations of your son, but it will be minimum in comparison to yours , for example 20% responsibility to ur 80%...
Ur not responsible for taking care of her persay, but depending on her financial situation does depend on the amount of child support that your responsible for paying.. so it is very likely that ur child support may go up some..but then its up to her to live off that amount..
My suggestion to you , is to tell her that untill she gets better maybe its best that your son comes to live with u ..if its that stressful on her.. And if she does take u back to court let the courts know that ur willing to take custody of your son untill she gets better..to "help" her out since she has to much on her plate.. doesnt mean u'll get custody but if she has a "fake" illness it may scare her enough to keep her job.

Texting is private and intimate. Texting is the perfect way to create a private and intimate world between you and the man or woman in your life. Learn here https://tr.im/SO56b
For women in particular, texting can end up being a fun “game” where they can do or say anything (even things they would never do in the “real” world). Texting is non confrontational. Odds are your relationship ended on a heated note. I don’t know why you and your ex broke up, but there was probably at least one (if not a few dozen) big fights. Done properly (the way I’m going to teach you), texting is simple and subtle. You can slowly feed your ex tested and proven messages and ideas without the risk of either one of you flying off the handle, falling back into old and destructive patterns, and throwing plates at each other.

you are only obligated to pay child support that was court ordered---if you wife didn't ask for maintenance when you decree was finalized that is her and her attorneys fault.
If however she was granted maintence (spousal support) she can't go into court and ask for more $$$
Child support is court mandated and calculated on your income and is court ordered for the support of the child---it's not meant to support the x-wife in all her needs and wants. It is to make sure your child has shelter, clothing, etc. It is not meant as a means for the x-wife to quit her job--and become a house sofa queen!
Her illness is not your problem---but if her illness is really bad---then take her back to court and and obtain custody of your child due to her health problems!

When you git divorced, you should have signed a clean break agreement, this means that you do not claim any support off each other. However you are legal obliged to support the child. If she is ill she can go to DSS and get benefits.

Stick the arrangment you have made if you are worryed about you child buy the clothes food ect your self for your son but dont give her any more money. You no longer have to suport her you are not married. See a lawer if you feel you need to but please stick to the arangement. If you feel she can nolonger provide for your son try and get him to stay with you and then you can leave her own devices she can stop work if she wants. But it is no longer any concern of your unless she is not able to provide a good level of care for your son.
She could just be trying to take you for a ride mate dont let her

This really is a question for your attorney, but if your divorce is finalized, and there is already an agreement in place, I really don't think you are legally obligated to pay more, nor do I think she can re-open the case to get you to pay more.
In other words, she can ask, but I don't think you are obligated to do anything about it. Just deny her request.

If her health cant allow her to look after your son then get him back.You are to support the child only.Let the court know why the child needs to be with you.Your ex wife is sick and can not even work.What more of looking after children who has the energy to run up and down.It will tire her out.Please assist her by getting the child.

If papers are all signed already (and by the way it's divorce, not deforce) then she can't ask for more. And you're right, you only have to pay for your son's support, not for your ex-wife.

The only way that she can increase your support is by going to the court and getting a court order for the increase. Don't pay her extra money until you receive such an order. She must prove to the court that she needs more money than the court previously ordered.
