Yes. Most states leave it up to the judge but over 17% is a real possibility.

When can a parent be sued for child support?

You are liable for child support when your child spends more than half his/her time with another custodian. Typically this is worked out in family court. If you do not pay, you can be sued.


What is the maximum percentage allowable on a wage garnishment with child support garnishment in the State of Oklahoma?

The maximum percentage allowable is 65 percent. This can only be taken out if the garnishee does not support a second family and owes more than 12 weeks of back child support. If the garnishee does support a second family, the maximum is 55 percent if he owes more than 12 weeks of back child support, and 50 percent if he does not.


How old does the father have to be to be liable to pay for child support?

We'll first off a father is liable to pay for child support the moment that child is born. So it doesn't matter what age he is either way he has to pay, whether parents help out, he gets a job, he pays from having a job, he gets on wellfare etc. He will be liable to pay for that child up to the bold age of 18 years old. I heard sometimes 21 due to certain circumstances, but more likely 18. However old you were when your child was born add 18 to 21 years on and that is how old you will be when you are done paying child support , unless you as a father would want to supply more for your child.

Hell to the f**king NO - you are not legally liable for that baby! just get a DNA test to prove it. But, dont wait because, you only have a limited amount of time to do so. You are only legally liable to support your babies.

Do you still pay support if your child work?

If the child is providing more than 50% of his or her own financial support, then no, child support would not continue. However, if 50% or more of his or her financial support is still coming from the custodial parent, then child support would continue like normal.

Do I have to pay child support if the kids are with me fifty percent of the time?

The amount of time that your children are with you is only part of the equation for determining the child support amount. If you make more money than the other parent, or if the other parent is responsible for things like health care premiums, you could still end up paying child support.


Does the court take into account that the custodial parent files joint taxes with new wife and makes more then the non custodial parent that cant afford it?

Probably not - in general, child support is a percentage of the obligor's net income. A new spouse, whether married to the obligee or obligor, should not increase or decrease the child support obligation. As one of the child's parents, you are liable for at least a minimal amount of support regardless of the obligee's resources.


Father has more than one child and has to pay child support?

If you live in the US... Parents are required to financially support ALL their children. So if you have more than one child, you will pay child support for more than one child. Did that answer your question? I'm not entirely sure what you're asking.


Will child support go down if the judge gives him fifty percent custody?

He can apply for it to be shared more equally, yes. He is after all paying for the child when he's with him which then would be half the time. It would not happen automatically.
