i believe so, whoever receives the child support should put the money towards food, clothing, school supplies etc. for the kids
Yes, child support and visitation rights are 2 separate things. Seeing your children is not a reward for feeding and clothing them, they have the right to be supported by you and it is your obligation.
No, you should not take children to a child support court hearing. This is for the parents to deal with and the children should not even know it is happening.
Both parents should pay child support. They both take care of their children.
Child support is necessary for the well-being and financial support of children because it ensures that both parents contribute to the costs of raising a child, such as food, clothing, education, and healthcare. This financial support helps provide a stable and secure environment for the child, promoting their overall well-being and development.
It should not be. The responsibility for paying the child support for his children lies with him, and should be based on his income.
Clothing expenses should be paid from the child support. If you find there isn't enough being paid and your circumstances have changed (for example- older children cost more to raise) you have to go back to court and request that the child support order be increased. If he is not paying regularly pursuant to the court ordered child support, you can file a motion for contempt with the court. If necessary, they can arrange to take the money directly from his wages.
The answer is simple:Child support is paid to the parent who has physical custody of the children by the parent who does not support the children in a residential setting on a daily basis. The child support goes toward the expense of providing a home and necessities for the children.Your boyfriend has to pay child support because he is the children's father and therefore legally responsible for the children's support.You and your child have nothing to do with your boyfriend's obligation to pay child support for his other children.Now, the questions that you should consider are: Why should your boyfriend get to not support his children because he has started another family with you? Should he be allowed to leave you eventually, start a third family, and not help support the children he makes with you?
Child support is intended to help pay for the basic living expenses, such as rent, utilities, clothing, insurance and the like, all of which remain the same even when the child is visiting the non-custodial parent.
You should pay child support for your children whether it is court ordered or not as it is the right of your child to received financial support from both parents
Child support is the non-custodial parent's portion of the expenses of the child, including housing, food, clothing and so on. It is up to the custodial parent whether an "allowance" can be paid to the child from the child support amount.
You should contact your attorney. It is likely that you should be paying the support to DSS.
If that is the only child you share, then you will have to pay him child support. If there are two children, then you two will break even and no one will pay child support. If there are more than two children, then the amount of support will have to be re-calculated and he should pay you less.
