There is no defense to paying the support that accrued prior to the modification. Modifications are ordinarily granted because of a reduction in net income.
He's been out of work, as millions are, and his unemployment has run out. Meanwhile, he's just learned from me that he could have filed for a modification without the need to hire an attorney. That info is witheld from fathers.
no
With an approved motion to modify.
Yes, if you feel the need to not support your daughter and take away from her.
No, the father must support his previous child. You knew this when you had a new child with him.
The more likely outcome is that the father would use this as the basis for a request to modify support.
Yes, until you have filed and had approved an order to modify the existing support order.
Wait two years and modify. An incorrect amount is interpretive, as sole custody father are still ordered to pay child support.
No. A motion to modify must be filed and approved by the court. A sole custody father can still be obligated to pay child support.
Revenue does not modify child support obligations. You need to file a motion/petition in the venue that issued the order for support.
You can ask a court to modify the custody agreement if the situation has changed, yes. However, there's no guarantee the court WILL modify the agreement even if child support payments are not being made (though there will of course be a de factomodification if he gets thrown in jail for being a deadbeat dad).
Neither of the parents have to pay because they both have a child.
Perhaps there are details that could provide an answer. Perhaps the father is unemployed and caring for the children while the mother works. Depending on the details, the father needs to take the issue to court if he wants to modify custody or child support. The current child support order must be followed until there is a modification. The court doesn't know about the situation until it is informed by the parties. So when you ask why the answer is probably because the father hasn't tried to do anything about the situation.
