Kent, WA asked in Child Support and Family Law for Washington

Q: My Bfs ex wife filed for a review of child support for their 14 yr old son. We are expecting a child in 10 weeks.

She has remarried and together they make 100k a year. He has faithfully paid. Shes harassing us and this is now an issue because she foumd out about the new baby. We have documents and text from her that confirms this. What do you think will end up happening? Will it be increased with another child coming? Has anyone else had to deal with a jealous/crazy ex before? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

A: If she's filing for a modification of child custody and support, the dad can file responsive pleadings which would address his perspectives and financial status. The court makes a decision based on the facts and law, including the financial ability of both parties to financially support the child.
