If child lives with mom, than dad pays $600 a month and mom certainly can't pay herself. If dad has another baby with someone else and they split his income is figured deducting that $600 a month but if mom does the same thing she does not get to decrease her income by $400 a month. |
Now what if the dad pays $600 a month for daycare and carrys the childs health insurance, bought all the childs school clothes and has the child equal amount of days during the month. The mother lives with someone rent free and has no extra expenses other than food for the child. There was a seperation agreement that they both signed stating that as long as the father pays daycare and carrys health insurance she doesn't want child support. Now almost a year later she changed her mind and thinks she can get him for some more money because she needs money herself. The dad already pays everything for the child now and like I said has her just as many days in a month as the mom. Would she have a case? Can she get awarded child support? And if she did, would she be responsiable for daycare then?
