If you have 2 children, why 1 worth more than other.

[loadmaster]

The older child SHOULD have the lower amount. If the older child had the higher amount, what happens when he/she turns 18? You would need to go to court to raise the support order for the younger child.

OK wait I got it now, that makes sense the older child would be less, got you. Thank you for your help.

The younger child is placed in the " First Child " support position in your order. It was done to make things easier. Your older child will come off Child Support first. If he/she had the " First Child " order, you would then need to return to court. Because, at that point the younger child would be the " First Child " but getting the support of a Second or Additional Child. This way, when the older child is dropped from C/S the younger child ALREADY has the correct C/S order.

 

[CourtClerk]

The reason the YOUNGER child has the court order for the larger amount is so when the older child comes off child support, you don't have to go back to modify the younger child's order to a 1st child support order. If the older child had the larger amount, when he/she turned 18 and graduated, you would need to return to court to change the younger/now single child's support order. I hope that is not too confusing. I am very tired.

That statement isn't entirely accurate....

"That statement isn't entirely accurate...."

You are correct and I am sorry. I was just trying to explain the general idea of why #2 had the higher order and I wasn't able to do a good job of it.

I have a question for OP...do both children have the same mother?

I know my daughter's father's CS is higher for his son (from another woman) because that CO was in place already before mine.

Yes, they do. He has another thread around here somewhere.

OP ~ have you BOTHERED to go to the court and look at the papers as CC told you to? Do you HAVE the dissomaster in front of you?

And why do you think that Mom will not know it's you because you changed the amount of money you're posting about...

Do you REALLY have 2 kids those ages?
Are you REALLY a Loadmaster?
Are you REALLY in CA?
Are you REALLY several months behind in CS?
Are the dates you gave for the orders TRUE?

Yes, I just got back from the court facilitator, and was told that since my attorney did not file a sub. of attorney form they could not help me.

That's absolute BS. You can access your court file ANY TIME you want to. You simply need to go to the courthouse at which the order is filed and request the file. OR request a copy of the file in writing (for a fee) OR contact CSE if that's who is handling your case and request all documents relating to your order.

 

[CourtClerk]

That's absolute BS.

Actually, that is correct.

You can access your court file ANY TIME you want to.

If there is an attorney of record, which obviously there is, they are not ALLOWED to advise, fill out forms, or anything else for anyone who is represented by counsel. The OP needs to fire his attorney. He can access his file, but they can't help him with anything.

You simply need to go to the courthouse at which the order is filed and request the file. OR request a copy of the file in writing (for a fee) OR

This, he can do, however as far as getting questions answered, he's out of luck.

contact CSE if that's who is handling your case and request all documents relating to your order.

CSSD will NOT speak to him if they know he has an attorney. Absolutely will not.

i got rid of my attorney awhile ago, why would he of not filed the paperwork? is it something i need to call his office and have him do?

You obviously did not "get rid of your attorney" as far as the court is concerned, because he's still the AOR. Did you ever sign a substitution of attorney? If not, you'll need to get the attorney to sign one.

I was unaware of any sub. of attorney form I had to sign. The court facilitator informed me of only the one that was not submitted by the attorney. Is that the same one or is there one in addition to that?

San Bernardino.
