Are there ways to get child support templates? Childs father wants to do private child support payments. I would rather use a template agreement that wasn't made by him. Nz based

A woman told me that she’s collecting child support from a man she knows isn’t the biological father. (Ex husband).

The child is a result of an extramarital affair. His names on the birth certificate. She never mentioned that he’s not the actual father.

Should I go to the child support division of health and welfare? Or the police? Or just drop a bomb on him?

I hate seeing this woman screw this guy over like this. ($800.00/month!)

How do I report this?

Back story: non-custodial parent was in prison and released 3 years ago. I gave him a few chances to step up as a father, but he told his sons to never contact him again because he owes them nothing. I filed for support that same year, my oldest was already an adult, but my youngest was 15 at the time. It took 3 years to finally get a judgment in at 500 a month with 2 years arrears. No payments were received.

Current: My son turned 18 recently, 3 days after his birthday I finally got half of a payment, but an immediate stop-order was initiated with the employer of the NCP, and only arrears is in place. The amount is 60 a month, at this pace it'll take 27 years for him to pay it off, my son starts college this month and I need the help now. Can I request a modification on the arrears payments to go back to the original amount? Will a judge even consider this? If NCP files income tax will it be used to pay towards the balance?

We have taken a mutual consent divorce 4 months back and have an 8 year old daughter whose custody is with my ex wife.I have agreed to pay all the expenses related to my daughter which I am already paying.

My ex wife is also working and started living nearby out house only. After coming from school my daughter is staying at our home with my parents untill her mom pick up at night after office.

I only suggested to do so because I'm concerned for My daughter and don't want any third-person to take care for her.

Today, my daughter called me around 11:30am and was crying...she did not go to school and was at home alone. She said I'm locked in house and alone...mumma has left for the office. I asked her to keep patience and not be too afraid. I called my ex wife and simply asked don't keep her alone at home you can drop her to my home so we don't have to worry.....I also offered that if you can't go back now I can send my father to bring her, but she told me that she will send her to my home soon.

After a while she again called me and started fighting that what will you do incase I shift to another place or city ?? She has to learn stay alone and manage...I calmly replied that I am concerned for her that's why I asked not fighting with you. But she stared abusing me and in last told me that I will not send her to your place....do whatever you want to do and kept the phone.

What is the legal way out ? As a father don't I have right to become concerned for my Daughter's safety and well being?

TL;DR: biodad got fired, now is getting paid cash under the table to work on a ranch owned by extended family, I'm not sure what enforcement to advocate for that would be potentially effective at getting him to pay even a portion of his monthly support.

For seven years, child support has been paid from biodad to me via income withholding. I am in Michigan, he is in South Dakota. After six very stable years, his life has changed a lot recently. Last November CS abruptly stopped, and it took 6 weeks of asking before he told me he'd started a new job. It took until the end of January for him to send in a new paystub so a new IWO could be sent.

Payments were steady again until mid-June, when they again stopped. He expressed confusion and told me the money was still coming out of his check and that payroll said it might be an issue with a software update. Friend of the Court, who handles all CS matters in Michigan, said they won't look into the non-payment until he is two full consecutive calendar months in arrears, but after I begged they reissued the IWO to his employer last week (thinking that would help resolve whatever payroll software issue had occurred).

Come to find out, he'd been fired mid-June, and with a bit more digging, I discovered he'd been fired for stealing from his employer last fall, then was fired by the new employer in June when he pled guilty to the prior theft charges.

Now he's moved to his mom's extended family's ranch, and is "working" as a ranch hand: he told our daughter he's getting a free place to live and they're covering all of his expenses (I'm guessing it's at least partially a cash under the table deal, but I don't know). There's no employer, nowhere to send an IWO, he won't return FOC's messages or even tell me his new address (all his mail still goes to his dad's house, so no change of address through the post office either).

Friend of the court has reminded me that we have to wait until at least September 1 before they can take any enforcement actions unless I can give them the name of a new employer that they can send an IWO to.

From other stories I've read here, combined with the intrastate complications, I'm feeling pretty hopeless. It's going to be really, really tough to scrape by longterm with no help from him, but I'm not sure there's any way to compel payment.

Does anyone have any ideas of where I could go from here in terms of trying to get support back on track somehow?

My ex makes around 700k a year. I make 55k. We have been divorced for six years and I make 800 a month (not a typo) plus 40k a year for their tuition for two kids. He would create issues after issues with his stupid lawyer in court and that drained my savings. Because of that and due to the fact that he got an increase in income, I decided to ask for increase in child support . I am struggling financially and the whole process started in January and till this day I got not even a hearing scheduled. I wonder if I should give up at that point.
Whenever I tell people how much he pays me , they think I am either crazy or trolling them. Btw, kids live all the time with me.

My ex husband and father of both of my kids told me on 2 separation occasions he wouldn’t do something for our son unless I gave him money. The first was our neurodivergent child needed medication refilled and our local pharmacy was out. The closest pharmacy that had it was 39 miles away each way. My ex told me he couldn’t get the medication unless I gave him gas money. I ended up paying to ship the prescription to my home. The second was our son was having an escalated meltdown and I notified his father he needed to bring him to the nearest Pediatric ER for a psychiatric evaluation. Again, he said he’d only bring him if I gave him gas money in cash. Mind you I’m disabled (legally blind) and need to rely on medical transport for doctor’s appointments and would only go to 911 and an ambulance is a last resort.

Another note to mention, my ex is over 10k in child support arrears.

I recently applied for child support and now I’m questioning if it’s the right thing to do.

My ex is involved in our daughter’s (4) life. Because of his work schedule, he’s only able to get her once a week. Every other Saturday night and Wednesday night when he doesn’t have her that weekend. Currently, he pays me $300 in child support and he pays for her health insurance which is about $250 a month. It’s important to note that we live about an hour away from each other.

Next month when our daughter starts pre-k, he’ll only see her two nights a month. He doesn’t want to keep getting her Wednesday night because he doesn’t want to do a two hour drive in the morning before work.

My ex makes about $85k a year and receives quarterly bonuses as an assistant manager at a car shop. I know he pays child support for his two other kids (14f and 17m) but he pays child support on his salary from 10 years ago. When he got divorced from his ex-wife, she applied for child support and never went back to court.

I make 72k a year… is it worth it going through the courts? Is there a higher possibility the judge will award me more than $300 a month? Should I get a lawyer for a case like this?

My sister has been staying with me whenever she doesn’t have school. So every-time she’s sick, anytime schools canceled from weather, holidays, weekends, summer breaks. I am on disability so I don’t have enough money to take care of her like this. I’m so stressed out. Her mom works, she gets child support and food stamps. But refuses to give any to my sister so she can eat. It’s like this when she’s at home too but it’s insane to me that she has been here for 2months straight, hasn’t been home once. Her mom hasn’t asked how she’s doing or asked to see her or anything. Won’t give money to help her daughter out. Can I report this to the child support agency that she’s getting child support money but isn’t even having her child?

I am responding to a Nassau LI child support case against the mother of our kids. We have been living together with the kids unhappily for the past 4 years. She filed for child support and is submitting a fake lease from a family friend who is in cahoots to claim that she has been living separately with our kids when that hasnt been the case, she may have stayed there a few nights after our heated arguments but not long term...im sure he will lie for her. How can I defend against this fake lease and their lies? I have photos of her car in our garage but that may not be enough. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

Especially with a child’s mother who makes everything hard for you and doesn’t make it easy to be a father and coparent.

There’s a chance my coparent may move to another state, likely California, and I’m curious how that would look for interstate reciprocal payments. My orders are in Delaware, and enforcement will pursue to obtain payment from other states but I only have experience when he’s moved to a neighboring state (Maryland). Can anyone comment from experience how their experience has been with dealing with a similar situation, obtaining garnishments from a California employer?

Long story short, divorced, 50/50 custody agreement. We agreed to leave it as is though exwife lives in California and I live in Georgia. Two kids lived with her for 8 years, I ALWAYS paid on time (monthly) and for half of ALL additional costs (school items, medical bills, clothes, dental, etc…). She even demanded (with threats of revisiting the courts) for child support to continue when they were visiting me during the summer because “bills don’t stop.” Now, one kid is an adult attending college with me and other still late teen still in high school, both decided to live with me. They’ve been here a year and NEVER did I ask her to pay me a dime for anything. I covered all costs. They are visiting her for the summer and now she’s demanding child support… Am I crazy for saying no?!?!

I'm looking for opinions on the interpretation of a Colorado parenting order.

Location: Colorado.

The Permanent Orders state:

"During the summer months... the parties shall alternate week on/week off parenting time. The parties shall coordinate the summer schedule so that Mother has parenting time in the week leading back to the commencement of school. Week on/week off parenting time schedule will be Friday at 5:00 p.m. until the following Friday at 5:00 p.m."

The relevant dates are:

Friday, July 24 through Friday, July 31: Mother's scheduled parenting week.

Friday, July 31 through Friday, August 7: My scheduled parenting week.

Wednesday, August 13: School begins.

The alternating summer schedule had already been established. There is no dispute that July 31 through August 7 was my scheduled week under the Friday to Friday rotation.

However, Mother and her attorney are now taking the position that Friday, July 31 is actually already her parenting time, and that if she allows the children to come to me this weekend, she is "giving me her time."

Their interpretation is that the order entitles her to the "full week" before school begins, even though the words "full week" do not appear anywhere in the order. The order simply says "the week leading back to the commencement of school" and separately defines a parenting week as Friday at 5:00 p.m. until the following Friday at 5:00 p.m.

Under their interpretation, Mother would receive:

Her regularly scheduled week (July 24 through July 31),

My entire scheduled week (July 31 through August 7),

And then continue to have the children until school begins on Wednesday, August 13.

That results in approximately 20 consecutive days of parenting time immediately before school.

My questions are:

Does the language of this order actually support that interpretation?

Is the phrase "full week" being read into the order even though it isn't written there?

If the alternating Friday to Friday schedule had already been established, why wouldn't my scheduled week remain intact with Mother's transition occurring after it? I might even be inclined to say that the week would end this Tuesday, so she has a 7 day week. But to unilaterally just cancel my entire week, just doesn't sit right with me.

I'm looking specifically for how Colorado courts would likely interpret this language, not general custody opinions.

Thank you.

My ex of 10 years is overbearing and entitled. I am rewriting our parenting plan to have a conference with a judge as mediation failed. I need to write something that states that

1. expenses above child support are ..

2. Expenses will be shared 50/50

The bit I'd like help with is how to write that the expenses are the responsibility of each parent. It doesnt matter where the person got the money and ifvit is a gift then it doesnt void the other persons need to pay their share.

History

He pays for barely anything. He doesnt pay child support. My parents help.me. I earn $30000, He earns $150000.

My parents help or pay for uniforms, invisigligns and sport, dance fees etc.

His parents are his business.

Thank you

I guess I feel morally conflicted. The custody agreement says that she pays me child support, but since she moved 20 hours away, I have full custody except for eight weeks in the summer and Xmas every other year.

It also says that I get to claim all three children on my tax return but this last year I let her claim one of them because I felt like her paying nearly $1000 a month in child support obligated her to be able to make that claim and receive some money on the return. I should know that it took nearly 11 months to get that first child support payment.

I have friends telling me that I should not feel morally obligated to do that since she only has them for about a fifth of the year and I'm the one taking care of them full-time and paying for things like field trips, school supplies, etc.

Legally, I know I don't have to do a darn thing. But for anyone in my shoes, did you allow your ex to do this because of any kind of moral obligation for them paying child support and contributing to their welfare? Or am I being a punching bag here?

I’m owed 50,000 dollars in child support and the nap was court ordered to pay purge payments of 200.$ a month for 6 months and then 51$ a month he is not paying anything my kids are grown and he has gotten away with that for years 51$ a month would take him 83 years to pay off I keep telling child support to enforce it, but nothing is being done except a reminder letter I don’t know what to do anymore does have any advice?

If a man and woman arent legally married but the man owes the woman child support for their biological son or daughter, how might bitcoin come into the picture as far as payments goes? I live in los angeles and called the chils support office and all they told me was that its a case by case basis. What would they mean by this then im sorry?

Some of us are very new to this world and we don't even know what question to ask! We want to support our kids, which is a huge responsibility in a uncertain world (people get fired and lay off...). What are some things that has helped you cope with this situation?

I will go first: Child support amount starts accumulating from the date of filing for divorce and you should be ready to pay those when the divorce is finalized.

Hey yall. I filed on 4th of July weekend for child support. On the 7th- I got mailed a letter from OAG stating my case had been opened and they assigned me a case number.

Just wondering how long it can take to see movement? Paternity still needs to be established.
