My partner pays child support as if he see the child every second wkend. Now he sees the child one day less a WEEK than the mother but still pays all that childsupport. Childsupport say HE can't change the childsupport percentage, and the mother won't change it or get anything in writing to say how much she looks after the child. Why do they go by what the mother says and only she can change details. Shouldn't the child be supported financially at both homes.

I have had a similar problem with my ex partner and two boys. Their mother can request a re-evaluation at any time, in fact last year she got them to remove that I had any access, although I see them twice a week and have all the court documents to prove it, and it took the a year to notify me, only because I now owed them money.
The only solution I have found is to make copies of all the court documents you have and send them to them, it takes a while and they will notify the mother and ask her to provide evidence that you are lying but they will change back to the correct payment (only after you have cleared all debts that you didn't owe).
Unfortunately the child support agency is very anti father. A Friend of mine, a respect police officer, notified them of his new child and they increased his payments as he hadn't informed them that he had a new partner, his child was not considered in his payments. His ex partner is living with her new partner and he is not taken into the equation, which I think is unfair.

Yep it is sad. I was divorced AND worked for lawyers at the time. I only accepted enough to cover day care which was then only $25.00 a week until my son turned 18 and I never changed it. His dad made pretty good money too. Thing is, he did buy him things and took him on trips and stuff and I thought that was nice -- the time spent with him. I did not do well financially at all but at the same time I don't believe in ruining another person's life either and that is what child support can do sometimes. It doesn't take a million dollars to raise a chld. I'm a mom and I totally agree with you and a woman who takes that much from a man for her own personal gain is a skank.

There should definately be support from both parents. Access or visitation however has nothing to do with support payments.If the child legally resides with his mom than she is entitled to the full child support that was set regardless of the amount of visitation he has with his parent.
The law is designed so that the child has the same standard of living as his parents. If one makes more than the other the dollar figure of child support is based on the higher income parent.

I have never heard of anyone not being allowed to try to rearrange child support or visitation. That would go against what this system is about. Maybe he just doesn't want to fight it and uses that as an excuse. If he really wanted to change it he could and would appeal.

The parent who has custody is the one who gets the money. I mean yes this kid might be spending time with the other person but there everyday needs are being meant by the parent with cusdusty. Like clothing, shoes, food etc.
