Hi from Illinois. My husband and I have been paying child support to a woman with whom he had a "one night stand" 7 years ago. The mother lived at home with her parents and her son for 5 1/2 years after her son's birth while collecting our money, buying a new car and remodeling a house. She received grant money to help pay for his daycare despite the $400 a month she received from us. Two years ago, she took us back to court and had the amount raised to $600 per month - her explanation was that she "is entitled to do so every 3 years.". She moved out of her parents house in November 2001 and within 3 months her current boyfriend moved in with her and her son.
I've received information that she is now considering quitting her job at a local daycare facility to stay at home and possibly only watch children before and after school during the school year at a rate of $50 per week per child, in able to spend more time with her son.
From everything I've read, my husband would not be able to quit his job and do home daycare in order to spend more time with our daughters as he has an "obligation" to support this other child. I'm just curious if she can get away with this? Doesn't she have as much responsibility to support her son as we do?
Thank you.
