What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL/VA
My name is Bobby and I posted in a another section about child custody that I received some good answers from. Thank you all that commented. Now i would like to discuss another matter. I'm a E-4 in the military and I have 3 children. My son lives with his Mother's grandparents and receives child support by florida law, My daughters live with their Mother and i have joint custody with and receives child support by VA law. The problem is this, I pay $748 for my son and $220 for my daughters. My daughter's mother was upset about this and is now going to VA DCSE to have the order change. ACcording to VA, I'm suppose to pay $917 for my daughters. I make after deductions $2,200 a month. With VA's new order and FL's order, I'll end up making $1,521. This is not enough to cover housing, utilities and bills for myself. with out the orders, I'll make $3,186. I know that up to half my pay can be taken for child support, but are there any laws that actually help the father be able to live basically? Or is it just a lost that has to be taken. thank you.
