The court order takes visitation into consideration and is based off of the entire year. No, he doesn’t get it in the summer. Not how that works.

Follow your court order… Don’t do what it doesn’t state.
Do what the court order or agreement already states.
The way it works is that the child should be equally provided for at each home so you should still get in the summer because that’s part of your cost of living as appointed by the courts to my best understand this only changes if income changes
You still have heat / air, a house etc while your son is gone right…that’s part of taking care of a child. So no.

I think its ridiculous that you take his money when the child is not in your custody. When my kids are with there dad over the summer I have to pay child support to their dad. It’s only fair that if I expect him to pay when I have my kids that I pay when when he has them. We also alternate claiming the kids on taxes in even and odd years. That’s his right having a child that he pays for and helps raise. My child occurs the same expenses when he is at his is dads and when he is at my house.

I don’t think he should have to pay you child support for the months that you don’t have him. I think the right thing to do would send the money to him for yalls child during the months he has him. It’s not like it’s coming from your paycheck. It’s literally coming from his paycheck so you’re not actually losing anything. It’s still going towards your child.

Sounds fair. It’s only 2 months. Be thankful that you get it. I waited until my kids were in their mid 20s before I got child support and only got it because his lazy ass some how got SS disability then wanted me do sign off that he didn’t have to pay it.
My ex is military also and our divorce decree states that he always pays child support even when he has them, and he has to come to my house to get them and return them even if he lives out of state and is responsible for all travel costs

Don’t even argue. Make him aware that expenses do not change just because your child is visiting him during the summer. You will need to go school shopping for clothes & supplies for school to start. Living expenses do not vanish cause your child is not home. He will need a home to come back to with running water, electric, heat, ac, etc.
his child support REIMBURSES a stipend of what you pay out of pocket year round.

For two months? Yeah he can get the fuck over it, I wouldn’t do it I’m sorry, you have the baby the whole year and he wants to get paid for two months? I know other will disagree with me but oh well, you put more effort in!!!
What on earth is going on here! It’s ‘Child Support’! The monthly Allowance is a set amount that is layed out to support the living conditions required for a child each month. If you don’t have the child for a month or 2 through the year, then don’t feel as though you are entitled to that allowance!! Whosoever is supporting the child should have it!! That money isn’t for you!

Once you start giving it back… there will be evidence and things may change.
If the child lives with you 10 months out of the year… YOU should always be the one who claims the child during tax season not every other year.

Nope. Child support is FOR THE CHILD. It’s for the whole year, in monthly payments. It’s never enough anyhow. I, however, would compromise and put those 2 months of payments into a college savings account.

Depends on what the court order says. The custodial parent still has to maintain the child’s home all year, so unless the order says there is an abatement during certain months, then yes. But it’s also true that he can petition for a modification to get that summer abatement. Consider carefully whether a recalculation of support would actually do you more harm or good. If your income has significantly grown, or his has decreased since the entry if the order, you might want to consider an out-of-court compromise settlement.

No, let him go to court if he wants that changed. Child support is figured based on incomes and the amount of times he’s with each of you so that time with him is already figured in. Plus, legally, he should never be claiming him so he’s already getting that bonus anyways, he should be grateful for that and leave it.

Child support is to support the child in every aspect right? So it helps to Provide a roof over his head. So there for the 2 months he is with his dad doesn’t stop him for contributing to help pay for a roof over his head…as the child is coming back to his home with the mother….that’s my thinking. 
They are right if it is a court order it must be followed , but I guess if you have a good relationship with him maybe he can spend that money on the boy when he has him , I every situation is different, if you can’t afford to live ( bills) without it for a month or two then no
LMFAO nope. If it was supposed to be his they wouldn’t take it out of his checks

Settle the child support situation with the court and don’t debate or deal with the ex. Rarely does child support continue being paid past a couple of years. Good luck. I’d also check with the IRS to determine if switching claiming the kid on tax filings is legal. You either have a kid or you don’t and every other year doesn’t sound legit for tax purposes. The two-month child support question depends on do both parties earn about the same amount of income? Child support covers mortgage/rent/utilities/food/clothing/medical/etc. and those expenses are 12-month a year and not 10.

Look at what your child custody/support agreement states. Thats what you have to go by. Consult your lawyer if you arent sure.
By this logic shouldnt she be paying him child support for those 2 months? Or am I just crazy here. Cuz it sounds like she’s wants something for nothing. Old dude has a mortgage same as she does, she’s not supporting that child for those 2 months so why should she receive Child support if no child is present? That’s just giving away free money.

I always try to put myself in the other positions shoes; and with that being said, how would YOU feel if you were the one paying CS to the other parent while said child is IN YOUR possession AS WELL AS paying for child’s daily necessities (ranging from food for the child all day plus childcare since school is out for the summer to utilities and clothing such) and activities, etc.? Wouldn’t really seem fair huh? CS is meant for the child so in my opinion if the child isn’t in your possession/home, the child isn’t benefiting from the support therefore I’d say the father is entitled to his money back so he can then use it to support said child.

Child support is based on income and number of overnights. If he is still getting the equivalent number of overnights as with the original plan then there should be no reason he should get the money back on his time. You just have all your time all together verse more soread out over the year. It’s equals out to the same amount of ‘fiancial burden’. If the child support was done less than a year ago they likely won’t entertain an update on it. Generally that can only be done every 3 years or so (depending on the state).

Geeez. Why do you need money if the child is not with you? At that time he’s providing for the child in person. He’s not your keeper when the child is not there. However, legally it’s up to you to send it or not. Morally I think you need to return it but nobody can force you to do it.

No he is being ignorant. He gets all his time for 2 months over the summer vs every other weekend or whatever throughout the whole year. That is still 100% his responsibility to pay the child support and if he really believes that it isn’t than he can take you to court and present his nonsense case while the judge laughs at him and tells him to get real. What an idiot.

Nope cause it’s meant to help maintain the permanent living situation for the child. If dad thinks he can get it how he wants it then let him try, until then keep doing what you’re doing
Fuck no. And we got a daycare credit this year so any kind of child care he pays for he got reimbursed for some of it. If he’s claiming the kid every other year then he’s pretty much getting his child support reimbursed to him, in a nice lump sum no less not monthly payments. I don’t pick sides because I’m not gonna force my BD to pay child support. But I do believe that whoever is supposed to pay child support is the one that’s supposed to pay. I mean it’s based on income and who provides for the child thd majority of the time. It costs a lot to raise a fucking kid. I pay $830/month for daycare for ONE child and I make too much money to get any help from the state. I’d tell him to kiss my ass, and if the roles were reversed and you only got your kid 2 months out the year I’d say the same god damn thing. If you can’t afford a kid don’t fucking have one. It’s not tit for tat on expenses.

If he’s going to petition it, then revoke his right to claim the child!

Can you not afford to take care of your child without that money. Sorry i work in the legal field and this is downright stupid on the courts end but that’s not surprising its all about money, and downright selfish of you.
That money is for the child if he isn’t with you then you don’t deserve it. I hope he motions the court and not ask to have child support stopped but that he asks that it be modified to pay for 100% transportation of the child since he moved out of state. Then you can get a summer job.
Keep it as it is already. You still have to buy all his clothing, school stuff and so on. Do it like court papers say.
