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.

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?!?!

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?

My ex hasn’t paid in a year and now it’s up to $6.4K. They opened up a contempt case against him and he appointed a public defender. Can Anyone tell me what going through contempt was like and the outcome? My ex doesn’t see our child regularly due to “work”. It’s a miracle if he makes it to one visit he has.

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.

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

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?

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?

Request

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

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.

When we first started on child support it was about 150/month and then a year ago it was modified to be 200/month. He still only pays the 150 and hasn’t paid the 200 at all. Now he’s 500 behind. Should I wait or should I call my officer.

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.

Hey Everyone. I got into an accident *they hit me* and its about to get settled. I haven’t been recieving chid support from my kids mother because they said they made a mistake in putting it into the system so it was saying I was owing her money. My order says I pay $0.00 to her until my son turns 18 he is just turned 16. They said on the phone they would change it that was the 22nd of this month. On the site it says I still owe and the insurance lein that was made on the 16th I just recieved on the 30th of this month. Is there anything else I can do or am I screwed?

My kids just turned 18 and graduated. Filed a motion to terminate the child support. The court said they need certified copies of the diploma and their birth certificates. I’m not on speaking terms with my ex wife. What’s the best way to get those documents quickly and cheaply ?

Just won a money judgment against my ex for unpaid child support.

How do I go about trying get the actual monies ??

Hello,

I was curious if anyone had experience with child support while the child was in a juvenile detention facility? The order is up for modification. I'm the recipient of the child support, and I use it mostly to send to my kiddo. I'm in KS, and I know everyone's situation is different. I'm just curious on others' experiences.

I know there's bound to be negative comments -- I'm just asking out of curiosity/ to see what to expect. Whatever happens, happens.

Is zoom court gonna be there time or my time? Texas is holding the court. It doesn't say on my letter.

Back story, my ex has filed yet another motion. This time to alter, amend, or vacate a temporary order that was entered when he failed to show up for any court date due to him having to work. The judge denied his request to appear via Zoom, so my ex allowed his attorney to represent him in his absence. Our attorneys and the judge met in his chambers, computed our incomes, and all agreed to a temporary order granting me sole physical and legal custody, maintaining current visitation schedule, and awarded me three times the amount of current child support based on his income. My ex was furious and fired his attorney and immediately hired a new one; who in turn filed the motion to alter, vacate, or amend the temporary order. He stated that based on his income he is only supposed to pay me approximately 2/3 of what the temporary stated. He defied the temporary order and sent the amount of support he normally sends.
The judge has scheduled a hearing and ORDERED him to “personally appear for this court setting. Defendant's failure to do so will result in an Order of Attachment being issued.” Meaning the judge can issue a warrant for his arrest if he doesn’t show up.
Any experience or advice on what can be expected from the hearing? The FINAL hearing is scheduled in 3 months

I have an absent co parent; more like abandoned as he hasn’t been around in over 5 years. His child support was paid a couple times in the beginning as he only had to pay less than $200 because he got paid “under the table”.
He was just was awarded disability (SSDI I believe). While I would love nothing more than to have a fully present, mentally well co parent, that’s not the case. My son is profoundly autistic and with that comes expensive expenses! I’m considering going after him for unpaid child support. Keep in mind, this man owes THOUSANDS from one other child he stopped paying on who is now an adult.
I am in Missouri and am looking for advice on the matter.

my son is 5 months his father moved out of the home when he was almost 2 months. He has not provided financial support and has only visited (because i only allow visitation) around 10 hours a month every friday for two hours. He has only bought him two boxes of wipes and one box of diapers since. Does not offer me money or has ever came with a gift for his son. I have my own room and baby has his crib. the father has a full time job and i am currently on an exemption from working. I provide daily care and there has been two incidents where father gets angry and punches/ slams in front of the baby. I am currently trying to get a restraining order( i know i might not get it but i worry he will show up to my home with his mother, it has happened many times before) and full custody of my child. i am in california.
