money is being deducted from my earnings on a monthly basis. The money being deducted is NOT backpay. My question is...
since i have agreed to take my kids for a month do i have an immediate right to the child support that is being deducted?

so then the x amount of dollars that she is getting is lost and mean time the children are with me. In other words she's reaping the benefits of the money when she is not caring for them.

To the last responder...I hardly call $1000.oo per month petty. The fact is that i have a very good visitation plan with the children how ever and here it is the mother beat the kids last night which is why i had to pick them up. Now i have no intention on taking them back without some sort of court order but in the mean time dont you thin just for one second that if the kids are in my care then i should at the very least have the money returned to me to care for the kids.

Personally, I would pay any amount of money to be able to see my kids more. Treat those kids to the best month of their life.

If you having the kids for the month then CS should be waived that month.
Unless you dont get them regulary, and this month fits into the guidelines of how many nights you should get each year.......If that is the case then you would still hae to pay.
Cant you just come to an agreement with their mum? ..........Instead of causing arguments about who pays for what for only 1 month?
Kids cost ALOT...........squabbling about 1 months child support is very petty.
** Update** ..........well if you dont give us all the facts then we cant give our proper opinion.
The question sounded like you were just minding them for a month.............you didnt say anything about violence etc........
Thats a whole different ball game.
If your childrens safety is at risk then you should take her back to court for FULL custody.
I stand by my first advice aswell ...............ring CSA and tell them they are now in your care and they will stop the paymenst while you have the children.

If you do not have backsupport oweing, then you can call the Division of Child Support and let them know that your children will be staying with you for a month at the request of their mother. They will confirm that with the mom, and then they will stop taking out money until your children return to their mom's house.
As far as if you would get money from her, I doubt it. You would have to get a support order, and one month generally isn't enough time to get an order into place. So basically, if she doesn't feel like it she doesn't have to give you money and do her part. Sorry =(

if she asked you to take full custody of them for that month then yes you have the right to keep that money. i would go back to court and get the custody switched so that it's legally binding and the money is not given to her.
the court should allow you to stop paying the support until the mother decides she can or wants to take the kids back again
i'm sorry for the nasty responses you are getting. people sometimes don't understand how much it costs to raise children and my guess is you're getting more than 500.00 per month taken out of your income. it wouldn't be fair for you to have to raise your kids fully on your own for that month (feeding them, clothing them, paying for misc things) then to have to also fork over the support to their mom who won't even have the kids. i totally understand why you are asking this question
hope this helps

you should!! maybe you should talk to her about that and if not talk to who ever takes it from you! maybe you won't get it back right then and there, but you should considering they take the money to give to her to take care of the kids. either way you should get it back for the month you will have them because you will be supporting them!! hopefully she's will understand and just hand it over!

Actually no! You don't have a right but for your childrens sake talk to each other like an adult. Both of you are the parents of these children, maybe you both can agreed on something in return.

No. When child support was set up, visitation should have been. Most fathers get 2 hours every Thursday night, every other weekend and a month in the year.
Of course, seeing as how you are so selfish about financially supporting a child you created, I don't think you deserve the kids at all.

i see what your getting at with this but even if the money would/should go to the kids anyway you still have to give it to their mother...its up to her if she wants to give it back to use for them for the month

yes, you let the child support people know that you will have them and you give them the dates, also any time you spend money like on clothes, haircuts ect. you keep your receipts and turn them in.

i think you should tell the child support people. she shouldn't be getting money if the kids aren't in her care.
