No in South Carolina
Since he is married now it will be based on both of your income and expenses
Why would it?! Just because he has a new kid doesnât make the first two any less important
Nope ive learned that the second or other kids dont count!! Thats why i work bck i hate how the system is
Doesnât matter. Actually where i live if you and he split up , his child support will come out for the ex first and IF thereâs any left over thatâs what youâd get since youâre â second in line â so to say .
No, the other kid doesnât count. And your income shouldnât have any affect on it. Iâm in NY and my dad had 3 boys and me and still had to pay 500 to there mom. Then when he left my mom they wanted him to pay 500 for me but my mom said no 100 a month for me was fine. It wasnt based on her check only what he makes.
Doesnât change anything here in iowa
Why so much bashing? She just asked a question.
No I got child support for my daughter then her dad got married and had 2 more and is now divorced and so he pays child support on all 3 now and my child support has never changed. Here its based on a percentage of his total income and my percentage will never change reguardless how many other kids he has.
Yes in NC. When my daughters father had another child his child support decreased due to him having another dependent to care for
Nope. It doesnât change it
Doesnât change a thing in Ohio.
If you guys have a kid on the way together ?then they all would get it. but to be honest I donât believe in saying first KIDS when they are all HIS children, because the other 2 kids are no better then the 3 child. they all should get the same of child support but thatâs my opinion here⌠But donât just have a child with this man if you know he only has enough for the 2 he already has because the child support will not just take away from his other 2 children because you guys have a baby and didnât have enough money for the other 2 because they wonât but tbh if I was you I would think about not having a baby with this man if you know he doesnât have the type of money for anther one my best opinion for you hunâŚ
Should not matter if itâs 1st 2nd and so on all children are just as important and all should receive same percentage of pay.
Yes, they take in account for each child. You would have to file a modification which could do more harm than good.
If you two are making it and can afford a new little one than I would leave things be.
Now if in the future a modification comes up than bring up the extra children. (Get an attorney)
They will tell you the current child is not their concern since he is with you that the 2 he pays child support to is ive been through this so in my state it wouldnt change a thing
He would need to request a new hearing and then yes it would. My daughters dad had a new baby and it got adjusted. Weâre in WA state
No only if you file for child support would it possibly change.
Nope. 1st comes 1st.
Hun its gonna vary by state and circumstances. In Arizona, child support is based off of the parents income divided by expenses. If you add the expense of another baby, it may change the total amount paid to first child/ren. It would be best to find out from your state, by asking his case manager.
Yes. You will get a portion of what she gets
Hey they need to care for the two old babies he shouldnât have new kid if he canât take care of the old ones
Nope doesnât matter how many kids he has he has equal responsibility to every single one regardless
Yes it does in Australia. They take into account the fatherâs living expenses, all his dependants and his income.
His wife or gfs income is NOT taken into account because she is not responsible for his children from previous relationships.
We were told our kids didnt matter because I can work to support them, in those exact words, after my husbandâs ex failed to return him to us after her court ordered visitation and filed a false pfa against us. My husband ended up having to pay her $652/month making $12/hour with no overtime.
In pa it doesnât matter. He had the 1st 2 early so in the courts eyes the older ones come 1st. I have dealt with that same situation.
If youâre married, yes. Child support is based on both parents incomes minus deductions like dependents. Heâd have to file for a change in child support. That may vary between states. Iâm Michigan you can file for a change in child support every 3 years. So if a change was just made before your child is born he canât file for a change for 3 years. This also goes for mom if she has another child.
If youâre not married (I know you said spouse but thereâs a lot of people who use those terms lightly) you would have to file for child support even if he lives with you. Otherwise the court doesnât see that heâs supporting the child.
I still wouldnât have a child just to take away from his other children. Thatâs rotten.
It wouldnt even change if u started collecting child support from him. Cant get it lowered for having more kids, otherwise every guy would have 15 kids.
Him having a new child doesnât reduce his responsibility to his existing children.
Itâs hilarious to me how everyone keeps saying âif he couldnât afford the two he has he shouldnât have moreâ NOWHERE in her question did she say he couldnât afford it. Yâall all sound like presumptuous bitter baby mamas
Anyways it depends on the state, girl. Pa will factor in any other children a father or mother has to support.
Not in Illinois, The child support is not affected by subsequent children. The fatherâs responsibility with his kids remains the same. And the first children have priority.
Depends on state, these people on here are full of it!
My bf has 4 kids. But 2 live with him and 2 live with there mom. And the second mom barely gets money cuz he has so many kids total. That what the judge said to the second baby momma. Said you wonât be getting much from him cuz he has so many kids.
It didnât in my case. I was ordered less than the mothers who already had cases and their payments stayed the same. Once the kids were grown I got more because he only had one child. Even when we were together his payments to the other kids didnât change. Even with me having two other kids Iâm still responsible for 70% of my daughter care because I make more money than himâŚmy other kids were asked about but not taken into consideration either. He still has a responsibility to the other kids so itâs his job to make sure he has the money to care for however many kids he has. Having another baby shouldnât affect the other ones. If he canât afford it then maybe he should get a second jobâŚthatâs just my opinion
Not in ohio. Me and my ex had a child and he still had to pay the amount for his other children.
In Australia he will be given a mulit-children case assessment (basically they will recognise he has another dependant). Will it drop his payments? Depends. Itâs not a clear yes or no. CS here is calculated on both parents of the childrenâs income.
His payments may actually go up (especially if the mother of the new child claims child support and earns considerably less than him, and the other 2 children previous the parents have similar income).
If the mother of the new child isnât claiming. He wonât see much of a reduction (at least not enough to make it financial viable to have another child).
as far as Iâm concerned - if you father children your just as responsible for each individual one, regardless if you procreate more or not.
the amount should stay the same.
No the first children would continue to get what is already set. Now if you and him were to separate and he pays CS for yâallâs it will be less due to what he already pays. Thatâs how it would work in both Nebraska and south Dakota anyway.
No. Having another child doesnât reduce the financial responsibility for existing children.
Florida doesnt care. Ist child/children come first.
In New York the first kids take priority and get more. Third kid gets a significantly lower percent if you guys split while the others will remain the same
He can try to file an amendment to the existing order for that reason but thereâs no guarantee that he will be granted thatâŚ
In California, yes, it can affect the child support order when there is another child in the home. They might lower his child support amount for these boys, if he has another responsibility at home. It doesnât guarantee that the amount will lower, but because the new child would be with him full time they take it into consideration. At least in my county, they do.
In Indiana it does. They account for all children when deciding child support
It would only matter if you guys split up and you took him for child support. Then the other kids child support would be lessened a little bit likely, as he still has to make a living wage himself.
It likely will affect how much he pays, right up until dhe has another child. It doesnât have to be with him to count.
It depends on where you are and if you stay together. If you guys split up, the other two children continue to get what they get now, your child would get a lower sum at least in ny.
He would have to file to adjust his support
He can file an amendment to habe the current order changes due to change in finances or change in family size which alters how the finances are spentâŚNot saying it will get approved but thatâs the process.
It depends on the state u live in. Best thing to do his consult with a lawyer.
Where I am from it wonât effect his child support. He still has to provide the same care.
no it doesnât, just because another baby is born doesnât make the needs of the first children lessen if finances are tight maybe reconsider having baby until yous are more financially able to do so
In Scotland they take in to account how many children live live in your house and they will also take into account if he has his kids more than 52 nights in a year over night but he will have to contact them and give them all this information x
In Australia no it doesnât.
In my state it doesnât matter because they consider that he knew what his child support was before having another kid and they dont want to diminish his other kids lives because of a choice he made.
Yes in texas they will lower it down to 17% with another child in the house being supported. He will have to go and refile at the office and claim your child on the paperwork as a new child.
Why does it matter? Are you expecting him to pay any less than he should?
In the UK it does affect it. But only by like ÂŁ12 a month
Yes, but heâll have to request a packet from child support enforcement .
No it doesnât, the courts would laugh and say âwe didnât tell him to have another babyâ
His child support wonât change regardless of how many kids you have together.
In the state of Alabama every year I would get a letter from child support asking If I wanted to have it reevaluated.
In U.K. maintenance goes down if NRP has another child or cohabits with someone who has children. Itâs not a massive amount.
No it doesnt matter. Weâre in CA and we went to child support court for my fianceâs 5yr old son and they told us that despite us having a 6 month old together nothing would change and he ended up having to pay more for child support.
Love, it depends on your state honestly. In Arizona they do take into consideration if you guys have a kid together. My best bet is to just call your local family court and see what they say.
No it doesnât matter.
First In time first in line
Nope. First family first.
In AZ yes it changes his child support! Once he had his new child they took $459 for that child, and gave me $228 for 2 pre-teen girls.
He would have to request for an amendment through the child support office or courts. Whichever the original request was done
He can request modification
No, it doesnât matter how many other children he has, he still has to support the other two heâs already paying on
Where Iâm from it counts. My OH has a child from a previous and being that we live together my daughter and our son are taken into account, being that there are 3 children to be provided for. They take a certain percentage of his wage and there is a certain percentage deducted for the child then a bit more for the second child.
It really depends on what they decided in court. And obviously the state youâre located. If itâs an amount calculated by the judge off of a bunch of different factors then yes itâs possible it could go down. But you never know with child support court. Depends on so many things. Iâm in CA
U can modify
Need to process it in the child support office
Takes months to get answers but another child is expense and he should pay less c.s
Yes it will, and you arenât wrong for asking the question not wanting it to change.
The bitterness in the comments.
Its not divided by expenses in AZ actually. I literally just filed child support this morning. They based it off both parents income (not including any over time hours paid) and who has the child more. They will however factor in day care and health insurance expenses. Thatâs it though. So im gonna say probably not for AZ. Find out for your own state though. However, just because hes not with his baby momma anymore doesnt mean her and her kids are chop liver because you came arpund and want a baby. Hopefully thatâs not what you guys are trying to get at with this because that would be pretty gross amd totally wrong. Also, remember whatever he does to his ex and their kids he will do to you and yours too. Just throwing that out there.
It is the same everywhere. What he pays her wonât change. Ever. But if you and your spouse break up and you try to get child support, you will get less than she does and hers will always stay the same. Unless he gets a lower paying job and they review his income, which they do every 3 years anyway⌠His child support was his obligation before he met you, and it will remain that way until the children are 18 years old. Or, he will pay until they are 21 years old if they attend collegeâŚ
No he lives with that child. If you and him would separate the ampund he pays to his ex would get devided between 3 kids.
I would ask judge for you to be primary custodian of baby & ask that dad gets a modified standard visitation which is a few hours every other weekend. He has to pay child support. Baby needs to be with mana right now so baby can bond, newborn doesnât need to be away from mama right now.
I mean the dad shouldnât have to pay more if he wants/gets equal time with the baby. If he wants more time with his child you should let him. Thatâs really rare in a lot of mothers cases.
The mother wanting more money so she denies the dad equal time with his child.
I could see concern if its solely for not having to pay as much child support. I know my state at that age its 3 days a week for 2 hours a day. It slowly goes up depending on your guys situation the only other thing affecting child support being less is the overnight visitation. We were also not together at birth but he was highly in the babys life for the first few months but has slowly faded away.
If shes not breastfeeding there are no reasons both parents do not get 50 50. She is no better than he is. Nobody should be worrying about the money. Itâs about the damn child! Its disgusting to think itâs ok and normal to give a willing dad every other weekend with his child while mom gets same child all but 4 days of an entire MONTH. Thatâs whatâs wrong with this world. Disgusted.
In my state most cases the father gets weekend visits but if they want to see them more shouldnât be a problem be thankful cause most people are not that lucky
My sonâs dad and I went to court for custody. Per his request he only wanted to have him 3 days out of the month. He eventually went from seeing our son 3 days a month (every other weekend, except the laat Saturday) to months at a time without seeing him. Once he received a call about child support he text me saying thanks for the child support now I want 50/50 custody. He only sees our son when it is convenient for him. He moved over an hr away and is supporting a girlfriend who he has gotten pregnant and her daughter. Itâs been over 8 months since Iâve filed for child support and havenât gotten any response from them. Child support seems like a joke
My ex was angling for that but didnât intend to spend the extra timeâŚiow purely financially motivated. I countered and put in writing what that would look like from a time and responsibility standpoint and he backed down. If yours is truly wanting to spend time with your baby and not manipulating you, thatâs great. Divorces bring out the ugly in the nicest people.
I think sheâs concerned because she feels heâs only asking for more time so he doesnât have to pay as much. If he wants time with his child then thatâs a fair but asking for more time only to lower payments is concerning.
Me and my ex husband got split joint custody, one week with him one week with me, which I was okay with because I feel both parents are just thatâŚParents. So I was okay with it but child support was still calculated by what he made and pretty much the difference in what I made and hour and what he made an hour so that it was pretty like the judge making sure we are both equal Financially according to our pay. So he was ordered 643 a month even know we split custody.
Take them to court he sounda like he has abandoned the child
Whatever state youâre in should set the amount regardless of visitation. Itâs based on income. He works, itâs based of thatâŚthey may include yours. Sometimes they donât. I have soul custody and itâs still based on his income only and he is required to carry insurance on her. Which the insurance I had dropped. I have my own on her and it actually pays better.
You need to ask for sole physical custody
He can have 1st 3rd and 5th weekends
Texas has a standard child support you just need to fike with the attorney general and normally its 20 to 25% of their income
I went at the beginning of January & the way the state does it, or at least where Iâm at, the non-custodial parent gets the baby every other weekend.
Does the father realize that children arenât cheap? That if he has the child more often, it will still cost him more financially? Either way he needs to support the childâs needs, so if he is strictly doing it because of the money, then I would say screw him. But if he genuinely wants more time with his child, then personally I wouldnât worry about child support. Not my own experience, but my cousin shares custody with her ex and they split everything right down the middle. He pays for his house, she pays for her house. But that would only work if both parents are equally involved with the child.
In most states they wonât allow the infant to even go with the dad until a certain age being that a newborn needs its mom.
I get child support 115 a month for 3 kids but there dad can spend as much time with them he is supposed to have them every second weekend but we donât really follow it we do what works best
Itâs the kids that suffered hope it works out for the best
Time spent with the child doesnât change the amount that will paid. If he has a job they will take it out of his check.
Custody and child support are two different things here in PA.
It could be 50/50 and he still has to pay
Child Support in CT has nothing to do with how much visitation the non-custodial parent has. It goes strictly by income. In my state in order for the non-custodial parent to not pay child support they have to give up their parental rights or have their rights taken away.
