Okay where do I start?? First of all I have been divoriced for 11 years and I have two great girls from this man. When I got a divorice I didn't want to fight just wanted away from him, I settled for less child support than the law could of made him pay, but stress and hurt can make you do weird things!! I just recently asked for more child support from him because I have the girls all week and everyother weekend, he sees them twice a month which is okay because they have made many great friends here which keep them busy!! According to what the state says I can get for child support would be $350.00 a week which is bigger than the $110.00 I get a week now. I told him I would work with him because he does have a new family his wife has one daughter who is 10 and then he has the two new babies 2 years, and 5 months, he is a hard worker and always was, and is a good dad too which breaks my heart to do this to him, but on the other hand my two girls needs are bigger, I have been with this one guy for 10 years now that has supported my girls with open wallet and open arms!! well here is the problem he has hired some lawyer who is digging into my past and let me tell you is pretty borring :}, I babysit and work only 20 hours a week out of the house right now, but the guy I am with for 10 years dosen't care, but my ex is digging up crap like that and so on......... okay that was long: but it is so hard to explain I guess my real question is what is the law in wisconsin and how do they work this?? His wife dosent work either.I am doing this for the girls not for me, they want and need stuff and he is really cheap which is good to a certain extent, I just pull up to the batters box when he strikes out, I never say anything bad about the girls Dad because they love him very much and it would be stupid to hurt them, but he has been telling them I am taking him back to court for more money so they won't get a whole lot for their birthdays etc....... I am so frustrated I could scream!!!!!! I want what is theirs for them can someone tell me what to expect and what is the law?? Thanks:)

The court will award child support under the guidelines set by law. As for his wife not working, other children.. those are basically non issues.

I believe GrandmaB (correct me if I am wrong here)stated it the best way on another post.
You and the childs father are responsible for your child(ren) the exes wife and her ex are responsible for their child(ren), and if your husband has children from another relationship/marriage, he and his ex are responsible for their child(ren).

Let him spend themoney on backgroud checks and whatever else he feels like blowing money on, if there is nothing there for him to find, then dont worry about it. That would only be beneficial to him if he were going for custody anyways. Which if he is spending money on background checks etc. You should be prepared for that to come up at some point.
