| Non-custodial parent was ordered to pay child support. He paid for about a year, then he stopped because he quit his job. His new wife paid child support for an entire year while he stayed home goofing off, (she never missed a week). He found a job and started paying child support again. Now he has quit his job again. Since he and his wife aren't getting along as well as they used to, she isn't helping with the child support payments, knowing he will be called into court. Is she obligated to help with child support since she did in the past? Her income is way over $60,000 a year. |

| Someone has already answered your question. No she is not obligated to pay you anything. You need to take him to court. They will take into account the fact that he purposesly does not work and also order him to pay back support. Generally, if someone quits their job, they will work out child support based on his last salary. |

| The new wife is not, by law, obligated to pay anything for a child that is not hers. Actually, you are considered lucky to have received any money from her at all. If the child's father doesn't want to own up to HIS responsibility, then take him to court. I'm sure he would rather keep a job and pay child support, then spend a few nights in jail! Good luck. |
