Question about child support!?
I am filling for the first time. I need some basic info. My daughter is 9, her father just stopped paying her support. ( never court issued) we were never married. I live with my fiancee and we have a 2 year old as well. I am not working and am a full-time student. How will this play out in court? Her father never really see's her and i can count on one hand how many times she spent the night with him.. He is also about to have another child. Right now he pays $80 a week.he is over a month behind and I have not spoken to him in months. i have all his info. I have one of his old paystubs and he makes about $950 wk. WHat should he be paying? Will the payments decrease if i take him to court considering he is having another child. ( due in less than a wk) Please any info will help.
If child support is based on what both parents earn, and i am not working, how does that effect the ruling?

First of all any court will take into account that your child can FIRST. They state will be able to run his SS# so if there is any doubt that he is not telling the truth about his wages they will find out. With him makeing that amount he should be ordered to pay am amount around 300 - 400 a month. Now here is the good news for you (and I know I will get a thumbs down for this buoh well it is the truth!). All that money that he has paid you over the last 9 years..... will most likly be looked at as a gift. And what ever amount that he is ordered to pay he will have to pay that amount in back support for the last 9 years. Good luck to you.

Doesn't matter if you are working right now. If you have worked before or have an education you have the ability to earn money and the court will view it in that way. Earning potential will be based off previous salaries

You need to talk to a lawyer. And no one knows what state your in. Not all states have the same rules. This will cost you for a lawyer but in the end you will have a far deal.

child support is based on the incomes of both parents..per guidelines/per state law. Have all your documentations in order of what he has been paying and what he now owes you. Judge will rule accordingly
