Q: If the court has ordered an agreement of joint physical custody with the father ordered to pay child support and he
Objects after the hearing what can happen to him. This was done through a pen de lite hearing. Is there any chance that he wouldn't have to pay child support?
A: If the hearing was pendente lite (temporary in nature) and he was ordered to pay temporary support he will have to pay that. He will come back in the final hearing and attempt to show that he does not owe as much or should not pay as much. That will be in the final hearing. What chance there is that his support will be reduced or eliminated depends on the facts of the case. His income, your income, etc.
