If I quit my job to be a stay at home mom will I get more child support?

Wow…go get a job lady…you have no reason to have quit your job anyways since your kids aren’t even home during the day!!!
Time to be an adult. Quit trying to scum off others. In all seriousness why the fuck would you think you were intitled to HIS money bc he got a better job and you quit yours to do nothing???
Child support is just that…SUPPORT For the CHILD!!! Not to support lazy exes!!!

Why would you want CS over an income in which you most like would still get CS? And what’s the point staying home during school hours if the kids are at school?

This cant be real :see_no_evil: why would u want to be a stay at home mom if ur kids arent their! If you want to spend more time with them just find a job that fits school hours so ur home with them ! Its not their dads responsibility to provide for you and its only his responsibility to provide 50% for them the other 50% is yours

Hes not paying to support your lazy self, this is for the KIDS to use for clothes, school activities, their NEEDS not to pay your bills why you sit at home doing nothing. Women like you always running to Attorney Generals office everytime your ex/kids dad gets a raise makes me sick. Just pathetic honestly. No don’t quit your job just to depend on extra money from him, sounds like you are very selfish and self centered and not doing this to improve your children’s lives more like for your convenience. Pathetic honestly

Woman like this are a big part of today’s problem ! I’m sure we would all love to get payed to sit on our ass all day at someone else’s expense !
He got a better paying job , in sure he works harder for it ! So he can one day retire and enjoy the benefits he bust his ass for , and as long as he pays his fare share of support then stop being a lazy ass money hungry bixxh ! I’m sure when he has them he also pays for all Thier needs and wants ! Thiers already a bad example set to young girls , that just think get pregnant young get c’s and welfare , sit on Thier ass and go party neglecting Thier kids ! It’s happening far to much !
He ain’t your ATM and I really hope a judge would see u for what U are and tell U politely where to go !

Talk about greedy! Don’t you understand that child support is for the children, not so you can have the luxury to just quit your job and sit on your butt at home. You don’t have a reason to stay home. The kids are in school. Geez it’s women like you that make it difficult for real women who are truly struggling.

So becausr dad got a bigger salary now you must get more because you don’t want to work.

I think there should be a va review and the judge should decide if the kids are entitled to get more money from dad. In the cases where dad does get more money, they usually adjust and give more to the children. But under no circumstances should you stop working, it would give the wrong impression that you’re just trying to live off of your ex and that’s not a good look.

U are a piece of shit ur getting child support already and because u are a lazy POS an he got a better job u want more money give him his kids an walk away from the kids life cuz obviously u don’t care about the kids besides a paycheck… furthermore its because of women like u that some men are afraid to leave a relationship once a child is put into the mix

You can file for more support hes suppose to report his increase. Cut your hours down at your job but dont quit

An no… no one should get more of the dads money cuz he paying child support more then likely taking the kids when the courts allowed him to take them an still spending money on them for toys taking them out to have like arcade or something like that so he is doing his part

My ex was ordered to pay the lowest amount the state allows ($80/month for 4 children) and I’ve hardly received that…and I’m just happy when it actually comes. People are wild.

If you cant afford it then don’t do it. Hes helping to support the kids not you.

You cam chase the money for as long as you want. Question is what are YOUR individual plans for retirement and your future after raising these children? It’s not wise in my opinion. You are as responsible for providing shelter and food for them. Unless of course you think he is the only capable parent and responsible parent which it looks to be so. Just hand them over and live your life

I have 4 kids. My oldest is my ex husbands. I stay home with all the kids (husband works). When the ex and I went to have support adjusted, because I don’t work, they assigned me a “possible income” based on my education. You have every right to take him to get more child support money. Kids aren’t cheap, but is it really worth quitting your job? Maybe you could find something part time while the kids are in school?

See this shit right here!!! The answer is no… even if you work a judge will go based off of minimum wage in your location and the potential of what you could make… Especially with your kids being in school you wouldn’t be a stay at home mom you would be a f-ing couch potato who lives off the system…
Act like an adult and take care of your kids. I have worked 2 jobs to support my kids with ZERO child support!!! Grow up!! You aren’t with him anymore, it’s his job to support your kids NOT YOU!!!
YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED TO EVEN THINK LET ALONE ASK THIS SH*T!! Be an adult like the rest of us… REMEMBER YOU HAVE KIDS WATCHING WHAT YOU DO AND WILL MIMIC THAT BEHAVIOR!!!

First depending on your state u need to call dor child support request that they file a new case to review and do an increase once it goes to court a determination will be made they’ll have you fill out a financial statement. My ex owns his own business and I barely got 50.00 every so many months my daughter is autistic I had him in for content of cs to the point it did no good I live in ma

If you voluntarily leave your job you’re entitled to no help regarding benefits for approx 6 weeks,so you would have to hope you had savings to get you through.
And let’s be honest, unless your ex is pulling in tens of thousands a week, you won’t be able to live off the CS amount he pays.
Get a frickin grip. Imagine if the tables were turned and he decided to take a lesser paid job so he paid you less.

If your children were at the age they needed full time caring, not in school it may of been a possibility, but if you’re wanting to stay at home all day and claim money doing fuck all whilst theres family’s out there who need the help and don’t get it, you need to take a rein check, you need to not be point scoring and fuck your ex’s opinion you aren’t with him anymore.

Do you get any benefits now? Like UC? If you do you will be sanctioned by them. Your reason is not good enough to give up work.

You would need to be at work as both your kids are at school. If you became a stay at home mum and used the UC ( if you’re not on it already) then they would expect you to look for work. There is no getting out of it.
Why should your ex pay for you to live? And everyone else ?

Keep your job, provide for your kids. Maybe ask the father to pay a little bit more.

When on benefits they make u look for work as soon as your child get to school age (age 5) so it definitely won’t benefit you seems your children are not at home all day and cs is not based on your situation its based off father’s earnings and how often they have the children

You can do whatever you choose. But no you wouldn’t get more child support. If your a single parent you’ll already be getting all that your entitled to as a single person for your child anyway. The only thing that will change is you’ll go from getting a monthly wage to £320 as that’s what you get from dole/UC now. Your ex partner earning more money should not sway your choice. You wouldn’t get more money from CSA if your not working. And just because his money has gone up doesn’t mean yours will, if he provides evidence that his wahe has gone up and so his outgoing and he can provide proof you’ll find your amount will stay the same. If you want more time with your kids find a job that fits around school. And lastly if you give up your job, dole/UC wouldn’t give you no extra as your seen to of given your job up so you put yourself in that situation. Again if you no longer wish to work full time rather cut your hours, or change jobs to part time!

She should stay in work however if he earning more the law says he needs to pay more maintenance that’s just how it works it’s done on salary

Please tell me this is a joke…

Its not your ex’s job to support you. It’s his job to support the children 50%. You are that other 50% and it is your job to provide that financial support just as much as his. Most decent attorneys can prove that a recent voluntary financial change (ie…quitting a job) was done for financial gain or manipulation of the system and it will get you obliterated in court. You could even lose primary custody if it’s used against you. But also, do you actually deserve to have primary when you aren’t putting your child’s best interests first? Being petty to try to get more money from your children’s father isn’t putting their best interests first.

I don’t think you can just quit your job because he got a raise and you want him to pay more money. You might be able to get it a adjusted a little bit but, not just so you can stay home.

It’s things like this that allow people to still knock moms who try to collect needed child support, the ones who say that women waste it, don’t deserve it, are just out for a pay day.

I raised my kids from ages 2.5 and 6 from a wheelchair (I’m completely paralyzed from the waist down due to a spinal cord injury). I couldn’t work and had no choice but to be a stay at home mom (which was amazing and a blessing, looking back, but wouldn’t have been the path I could have just chosen to take). I fought for every random child support payment I could get them to hold him to (which at its highest was 380/month), and never even tried for a review to up it because what was the point? If I were you, I’d thank God I still have the ability to work and an ex who makes the payments to begin with.

They go off of your earning potential and his to figure that number out. He does not have to pay you for what is basically a lifestyle choice for you (unless you left out details about why you physically can’t work from your original post).

How you live your life should have absolutely nothing to do with what their father has or doesn’t have. Why do you want to quit? If your kids are in school, why would you want to quit your job? If it’s simply because you found out he is getting more money, that’s not fair to him because it’s not his job to pay your way. If you truly have a reason to stay at home, then that’s another thing but this post seems like you know this unnecessary and shady and are looking for the okay to go ahead and use this man.

I hope you realize that CS ends once they are out of school and turn 18. If I were you, I’d keep my job 1. To have that work history 2. To have some dignity and respect for yourself, because trying to live off your children’s child support sounds pretty pathetic. Now if you have some sort of disability, and receive disability support, then that’s your contribution in you also supporting your children, but if that isn’t the case, have some pride in yourself. Keep your job.

It is unnecessary for you to be a stay at a mom if your kids are in school. He should not be completely responsible for 100% care of the kids plus you too. It’s a 50/50 thing. You pay 50% for the kids and he pays his 50% for the kids. Then you pay 100% for yourself.
