Coram, NY asked in Child Support for New York

Q: Do I have to pay for a babysitter if I don't agree with it?

I work two jobs and can barely keep my head above water. My brother, who has epilepsy, hasn't had a seizure in a year, is certified to watch handicapped clients and hand out meds. He charges me a hundred dollars for the weekend. She doesn't like out do she has a babysit that will cost me 250 for the weekend. I told her either my brother babysit or I pay her babysitter for 1 day, am I wrong?

A: If the court orders you to pay for babysitting you have to do so unless the seek modification of the child support order and the court grants your request. If the court hasn't ordered you to pay for babysitting, you have no legal obligation to do so.
