since she doesnt work thats why the amount is more than it would be if she worked..they also take into account how much time you have your son..how much you make..my ex pays me almost half of his monthly gross income..i was also a stay at home mom and have the kids(2) most of the time. the courts feel that its the sole income provider is to continue to provide for the child untill he/she is 18.. and to also provide for your spouse for a set amount of time, untill she is able to get a job etc..and if she has any sort of disability then you could be paying for her for a while...it all depends.. with my ex and i, we both agreed as the more money i make, then the amount will change but never under a set amount. if some months i need more than he gives me more.. if i dont need the full amount then i dont take it.. but we are also very close so it makes it easier.. i hope i was some sort of help..

Pay it and be happy your child is 17yrs and not 2yrs old. Be happy you do not live with your X wife any more that is worth the $800 isn't it. The $800 is for your child. Be there for your child. I pay $1500 a month for my daughters college and am happy doing it. I love my daughter and would do any thing for her. Good luck be happy there are worst things like still being married to your Xwife. Now a nice women can come in to your life. What I found is women that leave a man will work 2 jobs if they have to. But will not work if there is a man that will support them. Count your blessings you got rid of her your X wife. Be nice to her. Enjoy life you are free. Enjoy your daughter she will so be a women and gone.

You need to step up, be a man and pay it, no questions asked. So what the mother appears to be a loser. Don't let your feelings for her deter or stop you from paying child support. It's not the child's fault the mother is a dud and not working. Remember, you're doing this for your child, not for the mother. Besides, it's not like you have to pay it the rest of your life.

Be a man, pay it, take the high road and know that you did the right thing. You can be proud of that.

If your ex-wife isn't working then she using the money to support herself and not your child and that very obvious. Keep in mind that your child will turning be 18 and payment will stop unless he or she is going to college. I would and if you could afford a real good lawyer and prove that this money is not going to your child and if your child 17 then he or she can have a job themselves to support themselves. But pay the first payment and then go back to court and fight it.

Sorry to say but if the court order you to pay 800.00 a month you have to. the money should go to your daughter needs. not to your wife. but if you want call your custody lawyer and find out if you can do anything.

It doesn't matter if she's worked or not. If you have a court order to pay $800 a month, you have to pay $800 a month. If you believe her not working is affecting the welfare of your 17 year old, then call your lawyer and take her to court.

do it. depending on the situation, it is always best to stop and think about what is at risk. did you pay her ever before? did she foot the bill for everything for your child in the past? If she has made an honest effort at finding work and has been shunned and shot down, knowing that she is fully capable, she has every right to have you take responsibility for your actions. If you were a big enough man to make the bed, you are a big enough man to lay in it. take care of your children...no one else made them but you.

if the court orders you, i guess there's nothing you can do but to pay up. if your ex hasn't worked for the last 3yrs, it's none of your business anymore. what you should focus on is how to provide the money monthly.

also since it's child support, can you give it directly to your 17yr old? just to be sure that your ex won't spend it for anything useless?

something is achievable. relies upon on how plenty he makes, how plenty you combat, how plenty the hot ex spouse fights, etc. If he makes $10 an hour, then $seven-hundred+ a month in newborn help could in simple terms be too plenty for him. you could deliver him to penitentiary possibly, yet that would not accomplish something for you. All that stated, in case you modern the evidence that he hasn't fulfilled his responsibilities for numerous the final 8 years, it is not going that he gets a alleviation if he has an sufficient earnings. you could desire to pursue the back newborn help in reaction, assuming he actually will pay what he owes.
