Q: I have been a stay at home dad for the past 7 years. We split up and now have joint custody will she have to pay CS?
She was the provider. I now still take care of the girls every day. 2 of 3 are in school and I pick them up and drop them off every day. We split nights 50/50 but I am the caregiver in the day for the youngest and when the others get out of school. She gets out of work and picks them up at about 6 with a 9 o'clock bed time. I had to go on public assistance because I am disabled and waiting on my disability benefits to start. Will she still be required to pay me support until then? DCF filed an order against her also and I am waiting on that. She makes about 3000 a month. How much will she have to pay? How much will a receive after DOR collects?
A: If the children primarily live with you then yes she has to pay support. You should hire a lawyer to assist you with the case.
