If I am not working (not lazy going to school full time) does my husband have to pay child support to my ex for my son? Right now my ex pay child support to me,but he will be having my son for the school year because we are moving out of state because of the army. I am not looking for a way to get out of paying child support I just want to know how it works.

As for the comment by justme, I have 2 other children as well a 10month old and a 2 1/2 yr old so its not like I sit at home and do nothing but school work all day, I am trying to get a better educations so my children can all have college funds and my husband and I have something to retire on, that is why I chose to go full time while my husband works full time, so I can get it done faster.

Also I am not trying to make my husband pay child support on my child, and I am not saying that I am not responsible for paying. The point of yahoo answers are to ask questions you don't know the answer to, my husband and I were just talking about this and we disagreed what the answer was that is why I asked. I think ever parent that does not live with their child should have to pay child support, ME included, its just a question so please do not act like there is something for you to judge me on here. For the other people that have answered me with out person interest, thank you!

StephanieD has it right. Your husbands income is not factored into child support. But, in most states they have a minimum, in MN a potential to earn...I believe minimum is like $50 if you are not working, and if you are not working, then yup- that $50 comes out of your hubby's pocket so to speak.
Check with a lawyer for your state. Most will give you a free consultation..
Or you can just make agreement, get into support papers, no one pays child support in leu of you carry medical insurance on child in leu of, or he be allowed to claim child as a dependent on his taxes odd or even years. Things can be worked out if you two talk to one another and are amicable for the best interest of the child.

It all depends if your "ex" decides to take you to court or if the both of you can make some type of arrangements...Maybe for the time that he has your son he doesn't have to make any payments to you...Instead,he can just use that money to care her your child...but your husband does not have to pay your "ex"child support (your the mom), it's not your husband's financial responsiblitity...Try working this out because in the long run it's all what's in your son's best interest and who better to make those desisions but, both parents......

YOU will be obligated to pay it, not your husband. They may figure your wages at minimum wage since you aren't working, but it is your obligation, not your husband's.
What do you think the courts would say to a man that didn't work because they went to school full time? They would tell him to work nights then. Why would you be any different? You won't have your son, so finding daycare shouldn't be an issue for you.

In most states, your husband's income is not a factor and he will not have to pay child support to your ex for your child.

the parent who has custody of the child, should receive the child support...
if you dont' have the child, you might have to pay
it depends upon the judge and the law there, or whatever agreement you and your ex can come up with.

Laws vary from state to state. The best thing to do is call your attorney and ask. It is the only way to get an accurate answer.
