Child support ruling.

Oh this is easy get a sugar daddy.

That ruling would never happen here. Child support is based on the previous last three years of income tax and a current income. The only thing that can reduce it is by either agreement between the parties or an undue hardship claim.

I don't know anything about how support is calculated. But fairness tells me that support (whether it be for a woman or it be for a man) should be based on a 40 hour work week. That's just my initial gut feeling. Of course, I'm open to being schooled on this subject, too.

My ex works 50-70 hours a week. I don't work.

Yesterday the judge ruled that my ex only has to pay based on 40 hours a week.

Before we went to court my ex said he would pay for a my car payment and half my rent.

Now he said since we went to court he will just pay what he has to. He also wants the car back that I have been driving . Its in his name and he wants it back.

The judge told me to get a job....no

What can I do?

Get a job. You should have taken his offer and not went to court. My son in law ex did the same thing. He was court order to pay $33 a week. So when she ask for diapers he tell her that is what child support is form before he was helping but she wanted a court order so she got it. Same with you.

For the sake of argument, $33 a week barely keeps a roof over the child's head, much less keep the lights on, water running, food in the fridge, clothed and shoed, etc etc. Your son in law might as well be a deadbeat and your dd not much better for allowing him to be.

Moms a deadbeat too because that is more than she does. She doesn't work, her boyfriend doesn't work, they live with his parents

Are you seriously giving your son in law a pass because the child's mother is a deadbeat too?! Poor kid, too pathetic parents who can't support them.

And if mom is such a deadbeat why hasn't her SIL filed for full custody of the girl to give her a proper roof and great care. Though I suspect it is because SIL is in no better position.

You should pop out a few more kids and collect welfare. Duh.

$33 a week? He must be a bum. And he still has a baby in diapers and is already married to someone else? Real winner. Does he have children with your daughter yet?

He isn't a bum. He works unlike her mother. He makes $10hr. And they split up when their 3 years old was 2 months old because her mother cheated on him with her friends brother and left him for that brother who she is still with. He also doesn't work and they live with his parents. He takes care of his child. Was doing more until she decided she wanted a court order.

So the judge ordered your son to pay 8% of his gross earnings to support his child? Wow! A good father would make sure his kid had what it needed to thrive regardless of what he thought of the mother. If she doesn't work who exactly is supporting the child because 33 bucks a month isn't even going to feel the kid.

I think a lot of factors need to be taken into consideration. If the guy is working 70 hours a week and never seeing his children due to that then perhaps child support should be higher since the custodial parent's costs are going to be pretty much 100%. In my case, my children's father chooses to work the hours he works and hasn't seen his kids in a couple years. The judge ordered him to pay a percentage of each pay cheque, regardless of hours, because he chooses to make more money rather than see his kids.

He is paying support on a child he has half of the time. So no pass. Technically I dont think he should pay any child support because he does have her every other week.
