If the judge orders it, then you have no choice. Unfortunately the judge can make all sorts of crazy judgements. If you disagree, file an appeal. For now, do what the judge says so you don't hurt your chances of a successful appeal. *The judge might issue such an order, but it would not hold up if contested. Child support and visitation are two separate issues. Child support is based on the physical needs of a child and has nothing to do with the involvement or lack of same by the non custodial obligated parent.
Yes. The custodial parent can seek child support from the non-custodial parent. The amount will depend on the non-custodial parent's income. The non-custodial parent has the right to seek a visitation schedule. Both issues can be addressed in a single court order.
zit would depend on what state you live in, but typically, child support would not increase if the custodial parent decided to stop working full time and began working part time, unless it was shown to be for the sole benefit of the children
Pay the amount due (you might be able to work out a payment plan).
Yes, though it may affect the amount of SSI the child is receiving as it comes from that parent's SS account.
Child support and visitation rights are two entirely different issues. The terms of visitation should have been determined before divorce proceedings and finalized when the divorce decree was awarded. The court generally prefers the parents reach an amicable agreement for reasonable visitation by the non-custodial parent. If specified days/times have been ordered by the court the custodial parent must allow visitation or risk being in contempt of a court order.
If the custodial parent agreed to deviate from the original child support amount, she can increase it back to the original amount if there is a court order. In additional, the non-custodial parent may have to pay back child support for the time when he paid less.
I do not think that all states are standardized yet but in Nevada it is 25% of the non custodial parents income for the first child and then an added amount of something like 3% for every additional child. The custodial parents income or marital status does not factor in at all.
Child support will not increase automatically because of a change of financial status on the part of the obligated parent. The custodial parent would be required to file a petition for an increase in support based upon the present circumstances. The court decides if additional support is warranted and if so, the amount.
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 he can not.
This will of course vary depending on where you live, and it's best to get a lawyer's advice. There are cases from time to time where a custodial parent may file for additional funds for extraordinary expenses, but typically this is spelled out in the custody order that was put in place along with the child support amount.
No. The non custodial parent's income and assets in conjunction with state laws pertaining to the issue determine the amount of child support that should be paid. The income of the custodial parent is only considered in very rare circumstances.
Support for the oldest non-custodial child is a percentage of the non-custodial parent's net income. For the next oldest non-custodial child, the NCP's income is reduced by the amount of support ordered and actually paid for the older child, and so forth.
Tipically, no! The amount is calculated and based on the income of the other parent. If you have an additional information on the other parent making more money and the court needs to know about it, you have the right to contact the court and request an investigation and modification of the child support payment.
For the state of Tennessee, yes because it depends upon the wages and amount of days spent with each parent.
If there is a current order for support the custodial parent would need to file suit to have the amount increased regardless of the circumstances of the non custodial parent.
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.
