my income and child support?

Question

can my husband's ex-wife use my income when going to court for child support? also, hypothetically, if we won the lottery, can she include our winnings?
thanks

patriciams, what if i were to put the lottery winnings in MY name?

i'm not being petty. i know for a fact that the child's mother is using the child support for her personal use. NONE of the money we give her is going to the child. of course if we won the lottery, we would give our child everything we possibly could, that's not the issue. i don't want his mother using our lottery winnings for her personal gain. since he started paying child support, she quit her job, bought new furniture for her multifamily house, which she collects rent from, buys herself websites, gets her hair done, etc.
so, you see, i'm not petty, if i won the lottery, i'd want to protect my assets

Answer 1

Child support is figured by the two parties income. Some States have a set percentage figure they use. This varies between States. The new spouses income is not included. Winning a lottery could raise the support if the paying parent was named as the winner/co-winner. Best thing to do is call the local Child Support bureau or go there online and find the calculations and rules used to determine payments.

Answer 2

It depends on Domestic Relations Law....the income is usually only based on the non custodial parents income and not his spouses......child support is a combination of both custodial parents income....if she is working his support will be less, if she is not working he can have as much as 55% of his income taken. If you win the lottery there isn't anything she can do unless it is that he won the lottery.....if you won a large amount of money why wouldn't you want to share it with his child....personally....the non custodial parent has it made....they pay very little for what it actually takes to raise a child....they never miss work for their childs appointments they don't have to pay a babysitter when they have plans they never have to go to school conferences or plan parties or run their child everywhere they need to go they don't have the extra expense of school clothes, haircuts, or anything that the child needs to maintain their lifestyle....try not to be petty....your husband can get a second job and work as much overtime as possible....his ex cannot and still be a good parent. If you have a child with your husband then Domestics will take that into account and give him a small break...he will also be required to provide medical insurance for the child and that will be taken into account as well.

NO!! your income can't be used for toddler help and no your financial company account can't be touched till his call is on it as a shared account. while you're married then no your income continues to be no longer used the only time it is utilized and nonetheless it is not is whilst the parent stops working to alter right into a homemaker. then a decide can do a put in income what that does is he will positioned an income in on what the parent could make if that parent grew to become into working.

Only his income is factored in. But if he won the lottery it would change things.

Answer 6

Open a seperate bank account in your name for your money only. Then you will not face the problem of seperating income for the courts. No they can not attach your money for his child support but will unknownly do it if your money is banked with his and force you to go to court and seperate it. Take action before hand and don't incur the fees to straight out the problem.

Answer 7

If you are married, then, yes, it's based on the entire family income (at least in NY). Lottery winnings, I don't know....
