I assume you have a lawyer. You should have. The judge looks at both party's monthly income and your bills. He decides on a fair amount. If you do it without the courts things get messy as a woman could say you didn't give her anything. ALWAYS write a check and keep all receipts. Visitation also needs to go through the courts or you can go to get your boy, the wife can say "Not to-day." and you have nothing to fall back on.
2 :
What does it cost you now to support your son? Providing insurance is already in place so it will be expected to continue. It is generally a percentage of your income and that differs depending on where you live. I think your expectations are too low and that you need to seek legal support. Please always remember this is your son- take your anger about your ex out of your thoughts about this.
3 :
I make 2500 every two weeks Gross and for 1 kid i pay 600 every two weeks and the health insurance. and you will be doing well to have your son every other weekend. Good luck
4 :
You are paying for his insurance, child care, camp, lessons, clothes, food, etc. Your ex doesn't benefit - she uses that money to pay for all of the above plus books, school supplies, toys and everything else needed including toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo.... need I go on. Do you really think that $150/week for your child is going to make her wealthy or even get her nails done. Think again. This is your child we are talking about. A judge decides the amount.
5 :
Courts in most states award 25% of income as child support. Standard visitation is usually one evening visit per week and every other weekend. The visitation can be agreed upon and so more than that, but child support is a court ordered issue and there's not wiggle room there.
6 :
It depends on your States Law. You could have as much as twenty five percent of your income go to your first born. "A state utilizing the percentage of income formula sets the amount of child support as a percentage of the income of the parent paying child support. This percentage is determined by factoring the number of children requiring support. This is the most basic or primitive method for calculating support. Many people believe that it does not take into consideration many important details, which makes this model of support calculation the least exact."
7 :
The court will order alot more than 150 a week if you make 1100 a week. It has nothing to do with her "wanting" it, they take a % of your income, up to 25% for one child.
8 :
How many times are you going to ask this question?:: It depends on will you live..If you and the child mother have come to an agreement then great that is what you pay..But if she takes you to court they have a %chart that is based off of your income and it probably will be more then 150 a week..It would be nice if you and the mother can stay civil and come up with an agreement without using the courts here is a chart for you to go by .: http://childsupportcalculator.dhs.state.â€¦

No. Nice try on getting out of your responsibilities. Man up and take care of it.
6 :
nope not at all
7 :
In Texas it is suppose to lower child support but you need to provide it once you go to court. If you provide it after you go to court then you can contact the child support office and they will need proof. Sometimes they will take it out but sometimes they will leave it because they will say that the parent will still need to provide a copay or pay for the doctor bill with the extra money.
8 :
not in Illinois
9 :
In Wisconsin both parents are to provide the health coverage. In my situation, I am the only one that covers the kids at this time...and he does not pay support. I am hoping that his lack of coverage does come into play...but not that far yet
10 :
Nope, not even if the mammy is on welfare and getting free medical.
11 :
check your state's child support calculator through superior court
12 :
no it does not
13 :
It can in North Carolina provided you use a attorney to deal with the child support people and your attorney knows what he is doing.
14 :
nope. It doesn't lower 1/3 of the cost of rent/mortgage the custodial parent has to pay. It doesn't lower 1/3 of the cost of electricty or gas to heat that home. It doesn't lower 1/3 the cost of food/clothing for that child. It doesn't lower 1/3 the cost of garbage pick up or water and sewer charges. It doesn't lower 1/3 the cable bill or internet bill or phone bill. The above is what the child support is going to pay for. Now when the health insurance payments lower them maybe you'll have a point.

My son's father just got health insurance for him. (Only because it is ordered through child support.)

My son's father just got health insurance for him. (Only because it is ordered through child support.)?
I am responsible for anything that the insurance doesn't cover. Can I file this on my taxes?

I'm sure you can...out of pocket medical expenses.
2 :
Yes I am pretty sure you can.You can always make a call to your Tax Man or women.
3 :
As long as you can claim your child as a dependent on your tax return, yes, subject to the usual limitations, i.e. you must itemize and you can only deduct those that exceed 7.5% of your AGI.
4 :
I think you need to itemize your deductions to claim out of pocket medical expenses.
5 :
Anything you pay out of pocket is a medical expense. Since you don't pay the insurance premiums, you can't deduct those. You can only deduct medical expenses if you itemize, and even then can only deduct the part of the expenses that is more than 7.5% of your income, so unless you have huge medical bills, you usually can't deduct them.
