Who Pays Child Support and How much?

It might balance out to him still paying support on the other 2 based on his income and you pay child support based on your income so you would still receive more money than him.

Generally, you pay between 15% -20 % of income. I personally only get $50 a week for one child. If he pays you 30% I would take it. If your child lives with him I don't believe you would get any support. If your soon to be x is a reasonable man, maybe you too could come to an agreement about the money outside of the court system. Maybe if your son goes to live with him, he will let you keep the 32% or maybe instead you could give him a list of additional items that need to be purchased for the other children that he could help you out with. I think at any rate, this is worht discussing more with him or your lawyer.

I don't think a man on this earth who is against abortion should be for an opt out law. I suppose some of them really do only care about themselves. I think this kind of thing would make people pay because they have morals. I guess the whole country is going in that swing. I am against abortion (unless its rape or serious medical reasons) and opt out. Making a law like that would be against so many of the women who morally COULDN'T live with the decision of having an abortion. Many fems believe in the right but say they wouldn't have one themselves. Sooner or later men will get this right and that is one of the many reason that I am not a feminist. I don't believe they are looking at the whole picture when it comes to women and men in this issue. Feminist want to push their weight around on this and its going to effect EVERY woman, not just the feminists. Oh oops and NO it would not lower the value of fathers more. It would probably increase it. Many single mothers know the value of a father. Many children do as well. See how many woman will understand after a law like that came into play.

Unless you are on state aid, the two of you can come up with whatever agreement you would like. If you want him to pay you $5 a month, then that's what you two can agree upon. Typically, the courts will offset what he is paying you right now if one of three children is living with him. Basically, you'd get support for one child.

My divorce took place in Illinois back in 99. I was paying 1,212.00 per month for two children, until I received FULL custody of both.

I think that the amount you receive from your husband will decrease slightly once your son moves in with him. Sounds fair to me.

Believe it or not I have seen fathers with custody of their kids, both full and shared that have been ordered to pay child support so the bottom line is there is no set answer.

since you have three children, and only one would be living with his father, i would think he would pay for child support for the two children... and i think he might be able to ask for support for the other child if you guys do agree on it privately then you can set the rules on wether or not you will pay child support

It might lower a tad but he will still have to pay. It would not make sense for you to keep taking if he is also taking care of a child. You would not pay him anything they would just lower the payments you receive.

Do you not have a court liason, lawyer, or judge to do all this?

You need to consult with one.
