Q: My partner , we are not married yet, pays 250. A month to the mother of his child who is 6 yrs old.
His income:1,600 monthly
We have a baby on the way if she took him to court will they order more than 250 or decrease since we have a baby on the way. I dont work yet.
A: It’s possible that his child support would decrease once his baby is born. However, he is not making minimum wage by making $1,600. The court can impute minimum wage to him which could potentially increase his child support since his is based off of a lower number. More facts are required to provide a thorough analysis.
