Q: How much is too much: support with medical ins and cost and other?
Fiancee pays about 750 a month in support for 2 children with his ex wife. 17 and 13. He also pays 112 a week for ins, which if he was the only one on it would pay 40 a week. He also was ordered to pay 25 a month which is half of her student loan because he never obtrained an attorney during their divorce and he co-signed her loan. He also pays another 100 a month for the 13 year olds braces now for the next 18 mos, she never consults him about use of insurance, sends bills in his name constantly and he is to pay half of all medical costs. She claims either disability or workmans comp but has never had a job in the last 10 years we have been together. How is he required to pay so much and still have money to live off of? We have had two children together in the last 10 years also. She is remarried. She is also constantly trying to keep kids from us whenever she can. They just did a review in 2018 spring. What can we do, he is paying way to much.
A: Ohio recently changed its child support calculation, and tax laws also have changed. He should use the Find a Lawyer tab and retain a local family law attorney to review the finances and other facts, re-run the support calculation, and advise him.
