Active Marine. IS 600 a month too much for a 3 year old?

What is the name of your state? Washington

I was wondering if 600 was a little too much for child support payments. My husband is in the Marines and we are married. Will the child support go down or will it stay the same.

child suppport is based on a percentage of the NCP's income, or an income shares model using the income, of both the NCP and the CP.

to get an idea of what someone should be paying you need to find an online calculator. one such place to find them is here-www.supportguidelines.com

No, it isn't too much I paid $800 for one kid and now pay $2,300 + benefits for two. Oh, and getting married does not effect your husbands responsibility to support HIS child.

I understand that but I think that some support payments are outrageous. 600 is too much for a 3 year old child especiall if the wife doesn't work and live with her parents and don't do anything. The child doesn't even go to daycare. He doesn't even have visitation rights. I am sure some of you will get upset and say that is a good amount but I don't think it is. It's not for the mother it is for the child. It is what the child needs. I think it is wrong especially since my husband has a family he has to support now.

Since you've already decided it is, why did you even ask?

And he knew he had that obligation prior to his new family. The court generally considers that a voluntary situation.

You and he knew his obligation when he married you.
If he wants a relationship with his child, he needs to petition the court for visitation. Time to stop believing in fairy tales princess.

Look I didn't come here to argure with no one and be talked down to. I stated my opinion and asked a simple question. Thank you.

I asked the question because it is a FORUM. I have never heard of child support being that high that is why.

If your husband couldn't afford the first child he shouldn't have gotten a second familt to take care of. Despite what a lot of NCPs believe, a CP cannot go to court and ask for a certain amount of child support. It's done by income and percentages plus other expenses that the CP must prove that they pay such as daycare.
My exhusband was and is angry about the amount of support he pays. And it's Fing rediculious. All I get is $288 per month for two kids. The man has a college education but doesn't use it and he also tells me that he can't support our two children b/c he knocked up some woman and can't afford that one either. Here's an idea...Keep your junk in your pants.

It was already answered. CS depends on the incomes of the parents. $600 may or may not be the correct amount. If that's what's ordered, it is probably guideline.

Your kid likely will have no effect on his support obligation.

grrrrrrrrr you people are so rude. Did you ever think for a moment knowing that this is child support law forum that some people are still looking for comfort. Give me a break, we are all humans and all have feelings. Sh*t if that wasnt that case we could be like the animals and not pay support.... "Oh what a wonderful thought, all those fat lazy moms at home would then realize collecting children for money would not be worth it" Anyways reading some of the threads a lot of these people are not only looking for advice but some place to vent or looking for someone in a similiar situation. So drop the damn attitude and start treating people like the way you would want to be treated. How do you know that this woman's husband ex is not some adulterous, abusive a*s. Should he have stayed just not to pay support? 600.00 a month is way too much. All judges that order this should be shot

Some of you all need to take a chill pill. I guess you got those on this forum who feel they should get about 3000 a month for child support. And to do what? Not work. Whatever. He only have one child and we don't have children together. But we live together and have other expenses too. He didn't know it was going to be that much we just found out. I got my answer from Haiku. THanks and Goodnight.

Go talk to Oprah, geni. Maybe she'll give you a makeover or something. This poster has given no facts as to whether the support amount is appropriate or not besides that she thinks it's too much. The fact remains - there was a support obligation that Dad had. He needed to take that into consideration when he made another (or more) kids. Period. End of story.

thank you geniveve for that comment. You are so right. It makes you think what the reciever is doing with this money.

And that's your problem. He still has that child, and that's his first obligation. If you don't like it? Find another warm body. (see, THAT was bordering on rude.)
