Q: I'm a father paying child support. The mother recently told me to pay 3 yrs of increases to health ins. all at once .
Instead of coming to me every year or going to the courts for modifications, she's demanding that I should pay her a one time payment of over $500 to cover this. Can she come to me for three years all at once? If she did go to the court will they demand that I pay it or does she need to do this as the increase occurs? - Thanks
A: An attorney would have to review the child support order and what it says about health insurance payments. If you pay what you can to spread out the $500, a court would take that into consideration. But use the Find a Lawyer tab to consult a local family law attorney.
