Do you still pay child support if you lose your job?

Answer 1

He will have to give a portion of his employment insurance and, he must keep in contact with you, or the courts (if you ever did go to court regarding custody issues) and as soon as he gets another job he has to start paying child support. Child support is usually a percentage of what the person earns. If he quit his job because he doesn't want to pay child support (some fathers will do this) then you can take him to court and the courts will force him to work or go to jail. Marcy
The State may garnish other sources of income, such as unemployment compensation.

Answer 2

If she was involuntarily removed from her job (fired or laid off) then she can petition to have her child support payments reduced. However, depending on the job market in your area, a judge may determine that her "income potential" is still high, and keep child support the same.

Either way, most states assume that a parent is capable of making at least minimum wage, and some states even have a minimum amount due, regardless of income, so she will most likely still owe you child support.

Answer 3

Your husband may apply to have the alimony deferred until financial problems are restored or possibly temporarily reduced. This would need to be done throught the court system otherwise he will be responsible for any missed payments.

Answer 4

Yes. The child is still yours, and still needs support.
