In Florida, what is taken into consideration is the custodial AND non-custodial parents income. An affidavit is filed in court (for the hearing), to accurately provide the financial information on both parents. Those numbers need to be verified and are used to determine the custodial parents' financial obligation for all expenses regarding the childrens' needs AND the non-custodial parents' obligation for the same. Usually 49% and 51% respectively. For example: Custodial parents' income is higher than non-custodial. 4 teenagers in High School (no daycare) with higher than normal expenses for food, clothing etc. No medical issues require a total of $1200/month to raise. Custodial parent- 49%= $588 (doesnt have to be paid because you have kids) Non-custodial parent-51%= $612 (you are "awarded" this amount) IF SHE EVEN PAYS
Technically child support is for ALL the needs for the child, except medical.
Day care is not considered child support.
Any amount in excess of the the court ordered child support.
No. A hospital bill is not considered child support. However, the court can require the father to pay the hospital costs for the birth of his child.
In general, child support is late if it is not received by the due date.
If your child is 18 years of age or older, and considered an adult, then no you do not have any basis with which to sue the father for child support. That child is considered an adult by legal standards and not a dependent. Only for full-time dependents do you have any grounds for child support.
This child would probably be considered emancipated and therefore no child support would be awarded.
A person is not responsible for their spouse's child support, so no, the court doesn't consider their income in setting child support.
In general, emancipated children are not eligible for child support - they are considered adults.
yes
No, it is not considered income.
If the child's RSDI benefit is based on the obligor's SSA account, it is considered child support. If that benefit exceeds the amount ordered for child support, the obligor does not owe any additional payment.
No, not likely. If you are over 18 yrs. of age, you are considered an adult, and child support is exactly what it is...."child-support" for CHILDREN, not adults!
