$3500, but it must be approved by the courts.
Why are there arrears? If there is a legitimate reason, such as unemployment, the obligor can still file for a reduction in them. Most Child Support obligors do not know there is free help from the state, by federal law, to obtain a modification. At the minimum, a motion should be filed to have any interest penalties set aside, which can double or triple the amount owed. Of the total media "reported" amount of child support owed, 83% if interest penalties and not unpaid child support. These links will teach what needs to be known about child support.
Child support is tracked by the federal government, not just the various states. On a personal note, you should be catching up on child support since that is more important than traveling. It is not just the money, it is the support of the child(ren) that you chose to bring into the world. Don't let them down.
There are no valid reasons not to get child support. That money is supposed to be used to help raise the child. If the custodial parent tries to refuse child support before a judge, the judge will override the custodial parent's wishes and explain that the child support belongs to the child, not to the custodial parent.
No, the child can not. The other parent could before the child was an adult. The money goes to the parent to use for the child and not directly to the child.
Yes. If the court finds out about the settlement before it is disbursed.
The child does not receive the money, the adult responsible for the child gets the money.
No. Before the court enters an order for support, it determines paternity. Apparently, the court was satisfied at the time that you were the child's father.
You need to file a petition for child support modification and income investigation with the court. It will take some time, but the result may be in your and the child's favor. However, the court may consider your income also and is it necessary and do your child need more money before they initiate any action.
yes
Probably not. Paternity must be established before support is ordered and I'm sure your case was no different.
Claiming a dependent is not dependent on the child support issue but rather on the amount of time the child spends with each parent.
i got a large sum of money from my ex husband 401 k when we got divorced do i have to report it to child support
If you are supposed to pay child support, the fact that the child is earning money from two jobs, has nothing to do with child support. Child support is paid to the person looking after the child to help support your child!
