my brother was making approx. $ 2,100.00 before taxes about 1,700.00. He lived in Wisconsin. was ordered to pay 800.00 monthly for child support. also pays morgage for ex and extras for son. Love his son but can't afford to live without a roomate. He personally didn't have a problem with this but his ex will not allow him to see his son unless he gives her more money in ther hand. He has moved to Chicago. What are his rights and will he be penalized because he is now between jobs. He makes money orders to send to his son as he receives income. What # can he call to find out how much is owes and to have an adjustment i child support payments.

first the only way to modified child support payments is by a trial and court order no number to call on that one
next as posted above he should only be sending monies for what is order nothing more, next he will need to retain a lawyer in WI to file motion for visitation order

I will make the assumption that he is paying child support through a child support agency. That would be the agency to call asking them for his balance. Also they need to be informed as to his new address and his employment situation.
If your brother has made regular monthly child support payments and on top of that has given money to his ex for whatever (mortgage) then everything he has given on top of his child support is considered a GIFT by child support services.
Even if he is between jobs he is expected to pay child support on a monthly basis...if he fails to do so that will be considered arrears and in most states he will be charged interest on the arrears until he pays it of.
Issues of visitation are separate from child support. If his ex will not let him see the child she is in contempt of the court order and he must file an action in the court that has jurisdiction requesting that he be permitted to see his child.
Hope this helps.

Well the FIRST thing he needs to do is STOP sending anything except what is court ordered.
The second thing he COULD do is to start his son a bank account in the event he still wants to make funds available.
And the last thing he needs to do is file a show cause for contempt against the ex if she denies him visitation (IF he has an order for visitation issued by the court).
If he does not have a visitation order, then he needs to file a motion for visitation.

If there is a court oder, he should befollowing it, and her also. Sending more than the court orders is considered a gift. If he has visitation in the court order, he should file against her for violating it. No money should be sent unless it is through the Child Support bureau.

He isn't obligated to pay anything other than what the court ordered, and if his ex is forcing him to and not allowing him to see his son, then your friend needs to drag her into court for a modification order.

if he has been paying new child help i dont think of they are able to flow after him, yet each state has distinctive rules. if she grow to be receiving funds advice and he grow to be paying help by using a state sign in then welfare could desire to have accumulated her help, yet whilst he wasnt paying via the state he could have complications. they are able to additionally look for reimbursement for scientific expenses if the youngster grow to be on a state funded coverage application whilst he had scientific coverage obtainable he must be caught. my advice make the main of the loose consultations that criminal professionals supply and the two instruct your self or keep tips. verify you're taking all workplace work with you. solid luck.
