My son’s father is being deployed to Iraq in May, but leaves in March for his training. Child support is already court ordered, but I know that there will be a huge increase in his pay once he leaves. What should I do about getting child support increased? Should I contact his national guard unit or child support enforcement now or should I wait? If I wait until he has gone, how do I show his income?
He is ordered to pay, but has just started to pay because he will most likely to have to serve 30 days before he leaves. His court date is on the 18th for that. He is over 3000 behind already.
He is in the national guard so when we processed the orders he was working a minimum wage job. His pay will increase.
the increase in pay we get over there is not our real salary so they never go by that. although since he will be getting regular active duty pay u should hit him up for that. and the army CAN enforce the child support order. your child is entitled to all of the servicemember’s BAH. when my husband was deployed i didn’t get a dime and his unit told me they can’t enforce it with no court order! i too am in army and know that’s not true.
I am paying child support for my daughter in my previous marriage. I caught my ex wife cheating on me, and filed for divorce. Her being the mother, she got primary custodian of our daughter, and I got standard visitation. I am having to pay child support, which I have NO problem against because I love my daughter, however, I am now remarried, and we are expecting twins. Will they take into consideration the fact of me having two other children and have some kind of deduction for my obligated child support? I live in Alabama.
Well, technically, child support is based on your income. Do you people who think im saying my daughter is worth less, does that mean my twins should have to suffer so all my money goes to my daughter? Come on, Im being serious here, not looking for your stupid mouthy comments.
Only if you decide to divorce your current wife. Then child support will be calculated on how many children you are obligated to support and the number of households they reside in.
Having more children does not diminish your obligation to support them.
