Q: I am my son's primary parent. My son gets a ssi check ever month due to where he is on the liver transplant. He dad
Does help me with red trips or the cost of his meds. I didn't fight for child support when he divorced cause his lawyer said we made the same. I do not work, I take care of my son and my mother. My son lives with me Sunday at 6 pm to Thursday at 6pm. Then he goes to his dad's, if not a holiday. Can I get him for child support? If so how do I go about doing so?
A: You should consult an attorney to look at the facts and see what the child support guidelines calculations show. The guidelines take into account the number of days each parent spends with the child, the income of each parent, the ssi received for the child, and other facts.
