new to sight. in middle of divorce preceedings. i have kids living with me. i have already used two attorneys that did nothing for me accept milk me for money. ex has moved out having affair(which has taken presidence over care of children). the attorneys i have used so far cannot get support for children. i do not have attorney now. and i have up coming court dates. it is a mess and i do not know what to do.
Where are you located and why exactly the need for the 2 attys.? Who has the residential care? But most of all are you demanding answers from your attys or are they both just not trying to help??
-------------------- I've done my time and i want out.
Enjoy and live well...
Every state is required by the federal government to have CS calculations set up in their family court. All you simply do is file a motion (perhaps that is what your upcoming court date is about)to have the court determine if the NCP has to pay CS. If she is working, they will order CS. But the amount depends on many factors. How many children, ages, time spent with each parent, the income of each parent, child care costs, health insurance costs, etc. Most states have computer programs where they enter in the info and it spits out the numbers. However, it is important to enter in the correct info OR the figures will be out of whack. The old "garbage in, garbage out" scenario. Typically, both parents file an income declaration with the court. From that, the court determines the amount of CS to be ordered. BTW, the court can order CS payments to be retroactive back to the time of filing, or even the time of separation. You may want to ask for that as well.
