How much child support....?

Child maintenance is determined by your salary and ability to pay.  The federal government website has maintenance tables you can refer to.  Yes, the judge will consider the cost of specialized formula if your child needs it.  But keep in mind that the idea behind child maintenance is that both parents have an obligation to support their child.  If the child's mother is working, her income will also be taken into account by the judge.

Depends on the family and the number of kids.  The average these days seems to be $3 per hour for a middle class family.  When I babysat, I watched three little boys for $5 an hour (and occasionally more), which was better money than a lot of my friends made.  Don't be too demanding or the parents will find someone else.  If you take good care of the kids and ask for a reasonable amount, they're more likely to keep you on long-term.

Ok, below are the links you will find helpful.  \n\nOne is for the NC child support calculator. You can enter your information and his information and it will tell you how much money you should get. I will warn you that as a student, you are considered under-employed, so they will impute a minimum amount of income on you.  Basically, they will come up with an amount that you should be earning for use in the calculator.  I am not 100% about the rules since you are a student, but most likely they will still impute minimum wage full time which is $210/wk or $840/month.\n\nAs for the insurance, medical bills, etc.  It depends on what has been ordered.  If he has a court order to provide the support, he has to.  If there is no order, he doesn't.  The child support calculator asks about payment of insurance premiums and accounts for that in the child support.  If he does not cover her, his child support is considered sufficient contribution, and he is not required to split medical costs with you unless ordered by the court.\n\nThe issue about him collecting the insurance checks, technically it is something you could take him to court for, but it would require copies of everything, and paying to go to court.  My suggestion would just be to take it as a lesson learned.\n\nThe issue about him not seeing her, etc. is basically a non-issue.  There is nothing you can do legally to force him to see her.  Its a waste of effort.  But I will tell you the same thing I was told and the same thing I advise everyone else to do, KEEP A JOURNAL.  Write down everything with regards to your daughter, child support, visitation, etc.  Keep track of every visit, every missed visit, every phone call, etc.  Also, get a file and keep all you receipts for clothing, school, medical bills,etc.  Any major purchases or expenditures for the child.  There will most likely arise a time as this continues, that the information and  records will be invaluable in court.  By keeping records you turn "hearsay" into fact, and you can show a record of everything that he has or hasn't done and when. Start NOW.\n\nIf you don't have these things (child support, insurance coverage, visitation) outlined in a court order, my suggestion is that you do so.  You can try to get a DSS attorney for free to work out the child support if you qualify, otherwise invest in a good lawyer and get everything taken care of right the first time.  You can go to family court yourself, but I have hear many judges get upset with parents for going to court without an atty.  The potential consequences of going to court alone and unprepared are detrimental.\n\nThe other link below is to the NC Child Support Guidelines.  You can read through those and see what the law is and how it handles different things with regard to child support.\n\nGood luck.

child support is not a magical number that the judge pulls out of his butt.  child support is based on the income of the mother, the income of the father etc.  the state has a chart and depending on what the father makes a figure is computed. in other words x+y=z.  unfortunately i see alot of cases come through my court where the father is the one 99% of the time paying child support.  and even worse the state does not factor in if the father has a mortgage, utilities, food expenses etc.  it sucks big!  i get so angry sometimes in court, but we have to maintain our proffessionalism.  and as soon as these women find out that the father has obtained a second job, they petition the court for more money because he has more income.  I had a case last week that was just absolutely insane.  the man was a capt. in the army and he was ordered to pay alimony, child support, and maintain the mortgage on the house that she got during the divorce and he no longer resides in.  in the end with all the money he was paying out to her, she ended up receiving more of his income than he did.  I have even had many men blatently tell the judge that they would rather go to jail than to pay.  I think in regards to reaching what amount he or she should pay, the state should take into considering what he/she pays out in living expenses and then factor child support. unfortunately the state feels that if you have to live under a bridge they don't care as long as they pay.  you can always repetition the court and present your case and see if they will lower his support amount.

I would call child support enforcement and have them look into it..sounds fishy to me.

whoever has custody of the child has the right to get child support. they are the one having to feed clothe nurture and provide a home and safe environment to live in. THen there's school a car, etc. and whatever the amount might be is no where close to how much it costs to take care of a child.

Usually, that isn't the question guys are asking... Oh, maybe you aren't the dad, but the mom.  My bad.\n\nIf you were the dad:\nYou could always just give extra money that doesn't go throught the courthouse. \n\nOtherwise, you can request a review, which takes awhile to complete, but child support offices go to the employer and verify all of the income, and then reevaluates the amount per month owed.\n\nSome states give cost of living increases every year, but some don't.  \n\nDon't listen to the jerks telling you that you should be able to support the child on your own.  You didn't get pregnant on your own, and you sure shouldn't have to support that child on your own.  \n\nCircumstances change throughout life, that's why this evaluation is in place.   Consider if you were both very young when you got pregnant and he was in college or working for minimum wage, but now he's got a decent job.  It goes by a percentage of his income.

First, you need to consult an attorney in the field of family law.  Secondly, most states have a guideline that they go by using how much income both you & the child's father bring in.  They take a certain percentage of each, consider how much bills you each have & expenses that are required to take care of the children & they go from there.  My husband's ex-wife got $341. per month for one child.  She makes a little over $22. per hour as a resp. therpist.  He makes a little over $17.50 per hour as a govt. employee.  So, go figure.  As an ex-wife myself... its never enough.  As a wife of one with an ex-wife... its too much!  Just see an attorney or go online to your states' website & type in child support guildlines.  That might help you.  It might give you a rough estimate anyway.  Hope this helps & good luck!

I would charge $40 per child for the week.  That would be less than it would be at a daycare but still enough to cover you expeneses (food, gas etc.) during the times that you have them.  Hope this helps you.

you should get a lawyer to file with the court a petition to stop child support  due to the fact that you are living together and plan to get married again, it should not be that expensive $150-$250.\nand would be well worth the time.

400 a month for supporting his child ...he thinks it's to much?? clothing ,food, home, electric and everything it takes to raising a child ? that's cheap ..he should talk to the lawyer who handled the case during divorce if he has a problem

Yes, that is all taken into consideration. See the site below where you can get an approximate idea of what your child support would be.

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.
