Q: I have my kids every other weekend. But sometimes my ex brings them the whole weeek. Do I still have to give her the $
I also have child support for 2 kids. And now I have a kids with my new wife . Do I have to still give the same amount of child support to the other one or it will change to less?
A: You have to continue paying as ordered until a court (or DCSE, if an administrative order) changes the support amount. You can attempt to calculate what the current amount would be using online calculators, or consult with a local family law attorney to see if it's time for a Motion to Amend the support order.
