Q: I take care of my daughter but her mom still threatens to put me on child support what can I do?
Why do I have to support the mom if my daughter is being taken care of?
A:
If she wants to put you on child support, she can do so.
Child support is based on the needs of the child and the relative income of the parents.
Check the Georgia Child Support calculator. You may be paying signficiantly less than what the calculator states you should be paying. In the meantime, may sure you pay her by check or money order to show you have been supporting your child.
