I am in OK. My ex is in GA (where our divorce was, but he's in a different county). My oldest son went to live with him and I kept my youngest so we had new papers drawn up. The support order was calculated on both of our incomes of course but as mine was lower, the order only shows that he... View More

If the court orders are in Georgia and jurisdiction has not been moved to Oklahoma, looks like you will need to consult with an attorney in Georgia.
If the case has been moved to Oklahoma then you could consult with an attorney in your local area.
Either way, this does not sound... View More

It is possible for the court to impute income based on her education, past work experience, and ability to earn. In my experience this is hard to do but is possible.
With that said, be careful what you ask for because sometimes this can backfire if she then starts working and child care... View More
business. They have a good income. Would the mother's income offset my son's support? He pays $275/mo and over $150 a month for the child's insurance.

The mothers income as well as your son’s income is both calculated in the child support calculations. Then then overnights spent with each parent determines affects the percentage of expenses split between the two as well as the amount paid.

I am not sure what you mean when you ask if the income of the mother would offset child support.
The income of both the mother and father is factored into the child support computation. The income of her husband is not considered.
I have my signed decree that states, "Support alimony payments shall only terminate if Petitioner remarries". My ex-wife informed me she has remarried effective 5 March 2020. I have paid the amount in full as required for March. When April rolls around do I require a court injunction... View More

Hire an attorney to help you terminate the alimony payment. Things at the courthouse are moving slow with the weather closings and covid so get this filed asap.
VA is used for purposes of gross income in calculating child support.

Is it an Oklahoma child support order or is it a child support order entered in a different state?
It states that we can’t file to modify until the 18 months is up. That is coming up. She lives in ND and i live in OK. How will support be calculated for 2 children now that i am making less and in a different state?
answered on Mar 1, 2021
If your case/order is in North Dakota then you will need to contact a ND licensed atty to assist you.

I wouldn't do that because if the other parent thinks you have extra money they could try and double cross you and modify support later and you could end up owning more. I have seen this happen before. Other attorneys may have a different opinion but that would be my opinion.

No, but he insurance is factored in to the child support guidelines. He should have an attorney review his support order to ensure it is done correctly.
I talked to the courts in Kansas and they confirmed I don't owe anything
answered on Feb 14, 2021
If the support order is in Kansas and you do not owe anything (including not owning any interest) I would encourage you to contact an attorney in Kansas to help you terminate the support order. If everything is paid off you should be able to get it resolved pretty quick.

If all he is worried about is the support then he needs to file for a modification with the DHS office that is handling the support. However, another option would be to file for modification of custody and child support because that will change the legal custody as well as readdress the child... View More

All you need to do is hire an attorney to prepare a motion and file an agreed order terminating the support based on you living in the same home.
If I owe and am paying on back due child support, but custody is modified and I am now the primary caregiver and am awarded child support by the other party, does the child support I am to receive have to go towards my back child support?
answered on Feb 4, 2021
Custody and Support while are often connected are technically separate items. In most cases the Child Support is also modified at the time of the custody modification (assuming that was done through the court and not merely by agreement). If you did not do the modification through the court, then... View More
child support originated. Maryland is still collecting child support from Oklahoma and sending to Georgia. Is there anyway I can get those payments sent straight to Georgia from Oklahoma where I currently live. And if my daughter is 21 years old, am I still obligated to pay back child support and...

answered on Feb 2, 2021
You would have to request the case to be transferred to Oklahoma, which may or may not be allowed. As far as the back support - that will still be required because that is money that you were obligated to pay for the raising of your child.
We have twins now, which obviously impacts our financial situation. We have a split custody agreement.
answered on Jan 23, 2021
There is a credit for other biological children in the home but it really is not that much of a deduction. As a general rule having more kids does not significantly reduce the support owed for the first child.

It sounds like you have a warrant. Hire an attorney right now. It will likely be much better to deal with this head on rather than making law enforcement come find you.
answered on Jan 4, 2021
First, don't agree to any support order without first conducting genetic testing to make sure the child is yours. If this has already happened there may or may not be something that can be done now. It is very fact dependant so schedule a consultation with an attorney asap to learn your options.
My daughter is 20 and lives with me. I've been paying child support on her since the support order was put in place. The only exception to that was a 4 year period of incarnation, which is why I have arrears. She doesn't receive any of the arrears, but she hates that I'm still having... View More

Child support is not owed to the child, it is owed to the custodial parent. The child does not have a say in support matters.
At this point it sounds like you should only be paying back child support. If you are still paying both back support and current support see an attorney to... View More

In most cases there is still a child support obligation when parents share 50/50 custody. Support is based on the incomes of the parents and also the amount of overnight visits. Sometimes the support amount comes out to zero and sometimes it is more than that. The only way to know what the... View More
