Q: No support from my sons mother and a little girl that doesnt live with me. Will that affect my child support payment?
My son lives with me and my daughter lives with her mom. Its hard taking care of my son by myself with no support from his mother. Im wondering if that will be taken into account when figuring my child support payment. Ive been paying the whole time even though its not court ordered.
A: You must get all this child support Court ordered. Take the mother of the child to court and get child support established. There are some facts here that you are not telling me. To whom are you paying child support? For what child? The short answer here is get the child support calculated. You need a lawyer. Find one to help you. Child support with multiple children and child support payments is complicated. Get some help. In sum, if you are paying support for one child under an order, and if you get a second child support order established -- the second order will consider the amount you are paying under the first order.
