Q: My son stay with me 5 nights a week I also pay half for everything he needs plus I support him more then his mom
She's be making threats if I don't pay her gas bill at her place of Resident she said that she would put me on child support and I have proof of the threat I also have proof that my son is in my custody 5 days and 5 nights a week...what should I do
A: It sounds like you just have an agreement with your child’s mother. She can petition for child support at anytime. But why don’t you? It sounds like you have your child more than 50% of the time, which may mean that either there would be no child support, or she may owe you. I’d call an attorney immediately. Good luck.
A: You should go to court and ask for custody of the child and have her pay support to you if you have the child 5 our of seven days.
