What is the name of your state? MO
I have another couple questions about child support. DH and I are thinking about taking BM to court for child support. When custody was granted to hubby & I (yes I am written into the order) there was nothing decided on child support.
First Part: Are judges easier on BM's when it comes to setting child support? Would they require her to pay part of the insurance or medical?
Second Part: Based on the online calculators because BM is not currently working we would only be awarded $50 a month. That is hardly worth the trouble. BM is choosing not to work and living with a new boyfriend who is paying for everything. Is it overlooked if BM chooses not to work at the right times to affect the amount support is set to? Or can they set support to a minimum of what she is capable of making(even if it's minimum wage or something like that)?
Thanks for any feedback!
