Its all up to you.  What I will tell you is, most reasonable agreements favor the father.  You would be surprised how much child support the state will award you.\n\nDo a google for your state and "child support calculator".  Go to that page and enter your info and the father's info.  You will be able to get an idea of what the court will give you.  See if it is close to what your agreement is.\n\nYes, you will be able to go back and revisit the issue later, but you will have to be able to show a "significant change in circumstances."  For example, the father is making much  more money, you are making much less, the child requires daycare or something that has a significant cost, you lost health insurance for the child, etc.  Also, it varies by state, but in my state you can only ask for a review every 3 years at the most.  So if you get screwed, you have to wait 3 years to fix it.\n\nIf you don't have a lawyer, I would go to the court date. If you decide at that time that you want to go with the agreement, the judge will always accept a voluntary agreement, even if it is for less than the court would award you.  (I have no idea what "Di" is talking about.  In family court they always prefer the parties work things out between themselves.  It makes everyone involved happy and more likely to stick to it.)  You can ask the judge to calculate and official amount for you and THEN decide which deal to take. In family court there is a lot of flexibility before the decision is made.  But once its made, you're bound to it.\n\nGood luck.

The child's father is obligated, I recently got back into touch with my older son and his mother has told me she has not recieved any money, thouu I have been paying through the nose, can't get any kind of license(hunting, fishing, business, et c.), I cannot get a passport and have been screwed constantly. If you have been on state assistance, he is paying that. If not, you need to report to DSHS and let them know you are not getting help. Also whoever adopts your son gets total responsibilty! Will be responsible for thee child financially for the rest of his natural life, think hard about this. Further more, quit yer bitchin'! I have never once heard of a man say he's not getting child support. You panty droppers wanted equality, fcuken take it! You created that child, you chose the man, you either take the responsibilty or give him to his father, you CANNOT have it both ways!

you would really have to check with the agencie. most states count child support as income so it counts against you benifits. missouri has some weird laws about benifits and stamps. good luck.

Do you have it set up thru a child support agency or social services?  They should have a record of it.  All you would have to do is call.

If you file jointly then you won't get what's owed to you. File separately if you want your money.\nOf course the big question is why isn't he paying his child support?

Go here and register and do it on line.  If you can't find your case, call the county agency with the original child support order:\n\nhttps://www.humanservices.state.pa.us/CSWS/CSWS_controller.aspx?PageId=CSWS/member_login.ascx

Your playing with fire there. The court could very well take them away from all of you. You want child support from the biological father you file for it at the prosecutors office, and they handle it.

Ok, below are the links you will find helpful.  \n\nOne is for the NC child support calculator. You can enter your information and his information and it will tell you how much money you should get. I will warn you that as a student, you are considered under-employed, so they will impute a minimum amount of income on you.  Basically, they will come up with an amount that you should be earning for use in the calculator.  I am not 100% about the rules since you are a student, but most likely they will still impute minimum wage full time which is $210/wk or $840/month.\n\nAs for the insurance, medical bills, etc.  It depends on what has been ordered.  If he has a court order to provide the support, he has to.  If there is no order, he doesn't.  The child support calculator asks about payment of insurance premiums and accounts for that in the child support.  If he does not cover her, his child support is considered sufficient contribution, and he is not required to split medical costs with you unless ordered by the court.\n\nThe issue about him collecting the insurance checks, technically it is something you could take him to court for, but it would require copies of everything, and paying to go to court.  My suggestion would just be to take it as a lesson learned.\n\nThe issue about him not seeing her, etc. is basically a non-issue.  There is nothing you can do legally to force him to see her.  Its a waste of effort.  But I will tell you the same thing I was told and the same thing I advise everyone else to do, KEEP A JOURNAL.  Write down everything with regards to your daughter, child support, visitation, etc.  Keep track of every visit, every missed visit, every phone call, etc.  Also, get a file and keep all you receipts for clothing, school, medical bills,etc.  Any major purchases or expenditures for the child.  There will most likely arise a time as this continues, that the information and  records will be invaluable in court.  By keeping records you turn "hearsay" into fact, and you can show a record of everything that he has or hasn't done and when. Start NOW.\n\nIf you don't have these things (child support, insurance coverage, visitation) outlined in a court order, my suggestion is that you do so.  You can try to get a DSS attorney for free to work out the child support if you qualify, otherwise invest in a good lawyer and get everything taken care of right the first time.  You can go to family court yourself, but I have hear many judges get upset with parents for going to court without an atty.  The potential consequences of going to court alone and unprepared are detrimental.\n\nThe other link below is to the NC Child Support Guidelines.  You can read through those and see what the law is and how it handles different things with regard to child support.\n\nGood luck.

I went through the Attorney General's office online for my state, filled out the paperwork and had a hearing in 3 months!  The child support order went into effect the 1st of the next month.  It went really fast.  I think you can find some or all of those forms on the attorney general website for your state.  The information sheet just gives all parties names (including children), addresses, date of birth, social security number, drivers license no., and employers for you and him.  There are websites online where you can buy the forms really cheap.  Try www.findlaw.com and see if they have it.

Ok, so is everybody on yahoo just a jerk?  Didn't your mothers ever teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?\n\nSo anyway...the way to go about it is to seek a revision of the child support order.  The fact that you have another child WILL be taken into consideration. \n\nHOWEVER, since the order is 10 years old, there have been no adjustments made for cost of living, increased costs of the child he is paying support for, etc.  Child support normally gets increased over the years for cost of living and based on the expectation that the older the child, the more expensive they are.\n\nSo, unless he is making SIGNIFICANTLY less money, or unless the child's mother is making SIGNIFICANTLY more than your husband, you are probably better off leaving things as they are.\n\nLook into things for your state.  My state has a "child support calculator" on the internet. You can enter the figures and see what the child support would be based on the facts.  \n\nThe courts probably define "hardship" differently than you do, so be careful.  Do you have a nice house, do you have decent vehicles, do you have clothes on your backs and food to eat?  Not to mention luxuries.  You will need to show REAL hardship to draw sympathy from a court when you (or your husband) is the payor.  In my state, as long as the father has $500/month gross, all the rest can go to child support if the calculator says so. Tell me how anyone can live off $500 gross?  All the sympathies are with the child and his/her mother.  \n\nAlso, you would HAVE to get a lawyer.  You never want to go to court alone, as you are sure to get the raw deal (heard that from a judges mouth)\n\nBe careful, you may be opening Pandora's Box.

Im not sure what state you live in but in ohio we have a 1-800 number that you can call and put in your social ssecurity number and find out if a case has been court ordered and how much u owe. Besides that all I can say is look up in the white pages your local child support agency and call them and ask.

you should get a lawyer to file with the court a petition to stop child support  due to the fact that you are living together and plan to get married again, it should not be that expensive $150-$250.\nand would be well worth the time.

He has to fill out financial forms to determine the amount of child support you will receive.  Make sure he puts down all his income....
