I live in Florida, My question is: my fiance's ex chooses not to work, but instead stay at home while her husband works and have more babies. We want to take her to court for child support, however with her not making any money and we know that we can't include her husband, what happens? It shows as if she is making no income and we have to pay tons of money?
you all have the wrong idea

So now that she is thinking logically, she is adding more stress on her family by getting pregnant again instead of focusing on her now kids. FYI my step-son said he gets upset at his mom's house because she doesn't spend any time with her and now has to go to a therapist. So for everyone out there I think you have the wrong idea. We are NOT going for sole custody. What we are trying to achieve is 50/50 time here and to find out how much money he is going to have to pay if he takes her to court. And if the judge is going to take in to account that she can work but isn't... If that judge will put in some amount even though she isn't working.

First of your fiance would be taking her to court. Not you ...You are a legally stranger heck you arent even step mom yet and thats a legal stranger. Second why on earth does your fiance think hes gonna get sole custody? What is the major change of circumstances to justify that? Oh and by that I dont mean you dont want your honeys money going out to take care of HIS child when it could be better be spent on you.

If your bf can't afford to support his child/ren without a chunk of change from mom and her hubby, he shouldn't be trying to get full custody.
Not to mention the fact that jealousy on his part is not a good enough reason to uproot the child/ren.
Let bf handle his situation regarding his own children.

So....are we basically saying here that were it not for your fiance having to pay "tons of money", he wouldn't be so keen on filing for custody?

Generally, stay at home parents are not deadbeats....deadbeats are those who don't meet or actively try to avoid their obligations.

A deadbeat mom would be a woman who leaves her kids with someone else to care for them, never sees them, and doesn't send money for support.

this woman has found some guy who is willing to support her and let her stay at home with her children from previous and current relationships.

Your fiancee probably pays what is only a portion of the money required to support his child, so it's doubtful she's getting rich sitting on her butt eating chocolates.

and you want to take her to court so he doesn't have to pay child support anymore, and want the mother to pay child support now?

why, you have a desire to sit on YOUR butt eating chocolates while you collect CS checks and make babies of your own with that man?

Where shall I send the "deadbeat mom" Tshirt you are going to need?
I'll make sure it's maternity sized for you.

When your fiance goes to court he can request the court to impute an income to his ex. The CS will be based on fiance's income and ex's imputed income.

Unless your fiance can prove in court that Mom is unfit, he will NOT be getting full custody. The laws in FL are basically that custody will be as close to 50/50 as reasonably possible.

Apparently OP didn't like my answer. I was the first to answer and it disappeared and Babygirl posted similarly. Hate when that happens.

you all have the wrong idea

I think you are mis-understanding what I am saying here, My fiance's son's mother is a dead-beat in the fact that they live in a two bedroom apartment and my soon to be step-son sleeps on the floor of her bedroom on a mat because the other two children have the other room. So when she got her tax returns last year instead of renting a larger place, she got breast implants. Bought a hummer and that is there only car to get around. So now that she is thinking logically, she is adding more stress on her family by getting pregnant again instead of focusing on her now kids. FYI my step-son said he gets upset at his mom's house because she doesn't spend any time with her and now has to go to a therapist. So for everyone out there I think you have the wrong idea. We are NOT going for sole custody. What we are trying to achieve is 50/50 time here and to find out how much money he is going to have to pay if he takes her to court. And if the judge is going to take in to account that she can work but isn't... If that judge will put in some amount even though she isn't working.

WOW... just Wow.... you're sitting there asking for answers, coming up with extra excuses as to why YOU'RE in a position to judge as a LEGAL STRANGER not knowing WHAT the mom's current situation is exactly and you don't like the answers you've been given... so what do you do? YOU ERASE the ATTORNEY'S answer to your questions, repose them and get the same answer again, only to what? MAKE MORE EXCUSES, TOSS BLAME, and MAKE JUDGMENTS? Wow... just. WOW. :rolleyes:

Uh and I feel the need to point this out for you. THERE. IS. NO. WE....!!!! There is a man you are currently living with who has a child with another woman. PERIOD. You are LEGALLY NOTHING. You aren't even MARRIED to the man, which in this instance STILL would make you NOTHING in the current child support/custody issue of your bedmate and his ex.
