You need to speak with either a child support enforcement officer of a lawyer.

Its all up to you.  What I will tell you is, most reasonable agreements favor the father.  You would be surprised how much child support the state will award you.\n\nDo a google for your state and "child support calculator".  Go to that page and enter your info and the father's info.  You will be able to get an idea of what the court will give you.  See if it is close to what your agreement is.\n\nYes, you will be able to go back and revisit the issue later, but you will have to be able to show a "significant change in circumstances."  For example, the father is making much  more money, you are making much less, the child requires daycare or something that has a significant cost, you lost health insurance for the child, etc.  Also, it varies by state, but in my state you can only ask for a review every 3 years at the most.  So if you get screwed, you have to wait 3 years to fix it.\n\nIf you don't have a lawyer, I would go to the court date. If you decide at that time that you want to go with the agreement, the judge will always accept a voluntary agreement, even if it is for less than the court would award you.  (I have no idea what "Di" is talking about.  In family court they always prefer the parties work things out between themselves.  It makes everyone involved happy and more likely to stick to it.)  You can ask the judge to calculate and official amount for you and THEN decide which deal to take. In family court there is a lot of flexibility before the decision is made.  But once its made, you're bound to it.\n\nGood luck.

Child support is based on both parties incomes.  A formula is used where the parties incomes and the amount of time the child(ren) spends with each parent.  If either of you make significantly more than the other party, then it is probable that the party with a larger income will pay support.  The amount will be based on the shared economic reponsibility formula.\n\nIf your imcomes are similar, this will lessen the possibility of support.

I most cases this depends on a few things ( the state you live in, your judge, age of your child, date of when he filed for vists) I know in Michigan the father is responable for all of this. My ex has to pay for everything when our son was born.

I would see an accountant to figure it out for you and they should know the laws as to what is the range of interest and if it can be compounded or not (I think most states allow it but I am not sure, I have my child support coming from the Child Support Division since he is so erratic and they can take away his license).

Contact that states Child Support Enforcement Unit and ask them.  They can best answer your question.

Your state should have a website for the child support enforcemnt agency.  Try going to your state's website and looking for a link. If not, yahoo has some really good child support groups.  You might try joining one and asking this question there.

Go to your County Courthouse and get the forms "Request to enforcce Child suppoprt". Once you have the order go through they can put up a warrant for his arrest and place a certain amount of the Child support owed as the bail & every cent goes back to you. At least that is how it works here in Arizona.  I would go to the Law Library at your courthouse or Legal Aid and talk to them about it.\n\nOnce you do have the order they will also hold is income tax and send that directly to you.

Depending on what state you are in it will be different from state to state. You will need to contact the state that holds your court order child support and get a copy of all transactions and payments from you. On this report it will show exactly what you are in arrears or if you have a 0 balance at the time the report is printed. Most states are now centralized and usually Child support will have a 1-800 number to call. Make sure that you have your social security number or case number handy when you make your call. Most child enforcement agencies will need that information before they can even talk to you. Good luck to you.
