What is the name of your state? OH
I own a house in OH and me and my girlfriend (I'm 27, she's 24) have been living there 3 years in April 07. Things are not working out between us and our 2 1/2 year old daughter is mixed up in everything. She is going to be moving back in with her parents house in MI this weekend and is taking our daughter wtih her. She is unemployed (just lost her job in OH) but I have a decent paying job. I told her that I wanted to split the time that we get custody of our daughter, not sure if she aggrees to that yet. I am going to set up an appt. with an attorney in Ohio early next week.
Question that I have is what are my obligations for paying child support until this goes into court? How do I know how much to pay? She told me that she can't file anything in MI until 6 months has passed. That means I would need to file in OH if we wanted to get things rolling.
2nd question that I have is: She was on MI state funded insurance while she was pregnant. I was told that the state paid $8000 in medical for her and that I was the one who had to pay it back. All medical procedures that were related to my daughter were covered under my insurnace through my employment. I don't have a problem with child support (even though I'm going to need to get a 2nd job) but why is it up to me to pay back my girlfriends state funded insurnace when I don't even live in Michigan?
I'm pretty confused about all this and have been worrying all day. Figured I would post here to try to get some quick input.
Thanks.
