Has his personal salary gone up? If so, you'll have a much better chance in getting child support increased when you go to court.
My response:
Oh, my God. You have GOT to get off these boards, FKNA !
You have NO friggin' idea what you're talking about. You are misleading our writer with your above statement. Child support has NOTHING to do with whether or not his "salary [has] gone up" or down.
Don't you read my responses ? Or, are you purposefully ignoring my responses just so you can give out your bullcrap responses and mislead our writer?
We have support "Guidelines" in California, that are set by Statute - - that way, Child Support orders do not need to depend upon "chance."
I don't care if the guy has to work at McDonald's flipping burgers all day long. A salary level will be "imputed" to him based upon past ability and performance - - and child support will be set based upon that imputation.
Our writer's child is entitled to the Guideline support level. And, as the child gets older, our writer can have that support adjusted upward once each year if she chooses to.
To our writer - -
It has nothing to do with being "fair to everyone" - - it has everything to do with the law, and that your child at least obtains support at the Guideline levels. You let the court worry about "fairness" and you let the "law" get for your child what your child deserves.
Please, if FKNA's writing has dissuaded you from obtaining what is rightfully yours and your child's, then DO NOT listen to FKNA. FKNA is just a drunkard and criminal offender that comes to these boards and will, even in "sheep's clothing," say things to people on these boards that have no validity in the law.
So, go get your Support Orders for increased child support and, you can have the support adjusted upward once each year in California.
