family law/child support in michigan?

my husband and i have full physical/joint legal custody of his 3 children. they are 11 and twins that are 9. its been almost 8 years since she gave them to us, willingly, almost forcably. i have gone online to check how they figure out the child support, because i think she is somehow paying far less than she should be. she pays $30 a week. they based it on when minimum wage was $5.25. she is the manager at burger king and has been there for over 6 years and also works at subway. i cant imagine she is still making only $5.25 an hour.

also, in michigan the non custodial parent must pay insurance, she does not. we have a bulk of it covered through work, but the copays and medication costs are killing us. the 11 year old is bipolar and adhd and one of the twins has severe allergies.

i also have a daughter and we have a 5 year old son together. a total of 7 in the house. the reason i ask is because we are in financial ruin. we have already filed chapter 13 and will probably have to go

Update:

chapter 7 and walk away from our house, we cant afford it. we cant feed them properly, we live on ramen and mac &cheese. the state wont help, they say we make too much money. and it has been almost 2 years since my husband has been able to talk to the friend of court case worker. they simply will not work with him. calls are not returned, they are not in, appts. cancelled, etc..

can someone help me understand the custodial parents rights? $10 per kid seems very low. i wouldnt even care except we are losing everything. i have a friend that pays $198 a week for one, and he makes the same amount she does. how is that possible?

help, please, there has to be something we can do. lawyers are so expensive, i dont think we can afford one to represent us and force them to talk to us.

    you may pass to court docket and get an Emergency listening to be conscious of as an Ex Parte. be advantageous you convey all your place of work work with you to court docket so as that the decide knows which you 2 had a mutual custody contract of 60/forty. some courts basically do Ex Parte's on specific days so call the courts, whichever juridiction you're in and ask them what days and hours are Ex Parte's heard on. My ex has carried out a great type of Ex Parte's on me till now thats why i'm familiar with them. solid success!

    You are free to go back to court and ask for a review of her wages. That's the legal way to do it.

    She will have to comply or face arrest.

    Stop with the drama - get a lawyer and do it.
