My husband starts school in the fall and he will have his own apartment in California until I move out there in April. My stepdaughter her mother and her other sister are moving to California also. They are moving from a different state but she has a good job out here and her husband can't come out till December. She found a place to live but it was in the worst part of town and she wants to move into a studio with her and her two children (one being my step-daughter). That is all she can afford with just moving out here this area they live in is a high rent district. So I convinced my husband to let her stay with him and pay half the rent until she can save up money to afford better living conditions. This is where my questions begin. My husband currently pays child support but he doesn't pay childcare cost because that wasn't an issue at the time. Now with her moving in with him is he still required to pay child support? She is asking about him paying half the daycare expenses. If he does have to pay daycare can he request that she sends her to a licensed daycare so that we can write it off on our taxes. Can they decided these conditions by themselves or does it have to go to court. They never went to court to determine this child support it went through the DA's office. She has closed the case through the DA's office because they would hold her child support for three months before giving it to her. So would we have to reopen the case through the DA or would we have to file with the Family court? Thanks for any help you can give me!!
