Some of you may know of my friend who has custody of his two children_ their mother has supervised visitation. Before supervised she had them EOW.
This mother started a lot of new trouble when she began having to pay nominal child support. I ran the figures, and she_d have to be working less than 20 hours a week. Since she_s the NCP, and is never responsible for childcare_ shouldn_t min. wage at 40 hours be imputed? I_m not sure how the judge came up with his figure. Not my point really.
The mother decided she was paying too much in CS. She paid it correctly once, didn_t pay it for two months. Then she _and her lawyer_ decided on a new figure and she wrote a check for that figure. I seriously doubt her lawyer suggested this in any way.
She has filed for child support modification. If the judge were to lower her CS payments, would the lower amount take effect from the date of filing? So she would only face arrears for the totally missed months?
I think the leniency the mother received in regards to CS payments is because the judge felt sorry for her and her mental health problems. She has denied any problems and is not receiving SSI. How much leeway does a judge have in assigning CS? I_m wondering if he_ll feel _sorry enough_ to lower it or be pissed off enough to raise it to the rate for 40 hrs at min wage.What is the name of your state?
