I have been the custodial parent of my daughter since my divorce over 12 years ago. I remarried a few years ago and have a three-year old and another baby due in a few months.
My ex has been paying $100/week child support. My 14-year-old moved in with her dad two weeks ago. Now he says I must pay him child support of $150 a week and he has promised our daughter that he will give all the money to her to spend however she wants.
I know my ex will have to go to court to get the child support ruling changed. Would the court be able to use my present husband's income to make a determination or would it look only at my income? I babysit parttime and my income is less than $300 a month. Can I be forced to put my little children in daycare and go to work so I can pay child support to my ex? I have been out of the workforce for years and I live in a small town. I don't think I can make enough to pay for daycare and child support. Should I get an attorney now?
