Its very hard. Most government agencies require you to prove that your paying your child support before they will help you with food stamps/Medicare and so on. Yet they won't count your child support as a deduction. I pay 173 a week and only make 12.12 an hr. I bring home a little under 1200 a month. Its really hard and and takes a lot of money management. But it can be done.

Do you have to pay Child Support if you have 4 kids and one of the kids is with the non custodial parent?

You have to pay child support for any of your children that does not live with you. So if you have 3 kids that live with you and one kid that lives with your ex you would be responsible for paying child support for the one child that lives with your ex. However, you only have to pay, legally, when a court has ordered you to. If your ex is paying child support for the three kids that live with you a court could order a reduction in child support that he/she has to pay to you instead of you having to pay child support to him/her.

No Almost never. In a couple of states, there are some minor loopholes that revolve around cases where there is an open arreage or a recent reduction of support because of a new lower paying job, but in the US at least, a second spouses income does not generally affect your support amount.
