Contact your local child support enforcement agency or Google their webpage to get the percentage facts. In my state, it's 17% of income for one child, 25% for two children. It doesn't matter how much or how little he makes, they always set the amount using the guidelines. I'd get going on getting an order established soon before he breaks his leg or something and can't play anymore.
No, the father has to pay child support for both children. Of course the child that decides to live with him will be treated as he/she were when you were both married, but the child you have will still continue to receive child support by law!
No. Fathering more children will normally mean paying more support, not less.
Can, but the father can challenge it in probate.
Maybe the mother can only afford the ones she has now but the father can suppport the children she left behind for a better well-being. But it still does not give the mother the authority to leave the children. They still deserve the mother and father both togehter or a mother role model in the children's life. The new child should have the best life possible!! * From a moral standpoint, absolutely not. She has demonstrated her lack of concern for her children's emotional and physical welfare and therefore having more children would be immoral and irresponsible. From a legal standpoint, both parents are responsible for the financial care of their biological children. If the father and/or the state pursue child abandonment and/or non support charges she could be arrested, stand trial and be incarcerated and/or fined she would definitely be ordered by the court to financially support her children.
This depends on a couple of things, the state you are in and what your court order says. If the child is living full time with one parent it is the other parent who pays child support. However, if the child is living with the father for the summer (summer possession) the father will still continue to pay the mother child support even though the child temporarily is living with the father. The reason for this is the mother still has bills that are keeping the house and such for the child to come back too. The only way a father will not have to pay is if the court order says that during summer possession the father does not have to pay child support, but normally in this case the mother would not be obligated to pay child support to the father. However in the end, people should do what is best for the children and not worry about the dollars they receive or don't receive.
Of course. Even if she is remarried the father is still the father of the children and legally responsible for their support. She should file a petition for child support in the local family court.Of course. Even if she is remarried the father is still the father of the children and legally responsible for their support.

The father does, since the mother is paying her share towards the children in the form of child support.
No. They still are his children.
The parent would get support from the children's father--only while the children are in her custody as minors.
No
Tom influenced himself with his determination. He had huge support from his family, and especially his father.

Probably not, given that the new marriage does not terminate the child's father's legal responsibility to support the child.
Child support is usually based on a state-decided formula and they use the same formula regardless of the income level of the parents.
You can't. Child support is court ordered and family services handles payments. The money is to support children your father has produced. It is his obligation to pay the support.
I suggest you contact your State's child support agency about this.
Both parents should pay child support. They both take care of their children.
