Q: What should I do or bring he bringing paper work that he pays mortgage
We live in two different houses he keep’s bringing up that he pays mortgage what should I do he keep trying to scare me saying he got a lawyer he doesn’t want to pay child support at all
A:
If he's paying the mortgage on the martial home, he may indeed get credit for that -- because that is, in fact, keeping a roof over the children's heads (and yours), and counts for a lot.
You should consider getting a lawyer yourself, of course. If you can't afford one, you might want to look into your local legal aid organization that could provide an attorney at a reduced or even no cost to you.
Ultimately, however, just go to your child support conference and see what happens. Bring all financial documentation as instructed by Domestic Relations. If you don't like the result, you can always take your case to a Support Master for a second (and more thorough) opinion.
Best of luck to you.
A: You should bring good documentation of your income, such as six months worth of pay stubs if you can get them, including your mist recent one. You should bring proof of daycare and before and after school costs. If any of the children has expensive activities, such as dance or ice hockey, or has special medical needs, bring proof of that as well. He may receive some credit for paying the mortgage if you have 50/50 custody. if you have primary physical custody in my experience it would be unusual for him to receive any credit for paying the mortgage.
