My boyfriend and I are living together and have been since 3 months after he had left his wife. No we were not seeing each other prior to his leaving. Long story, we were high school sweethearts. It has been almost 2 years since he has left and has went to court, paying child support as indicated by judge, paying off her/thier debt. She will not permitt him to see the 3 kids. She now is taking him back to court with the intent to prove he is an unfitt father, more child support (he's already paying as if he had 2 jobs, he only has one)and wants lawyer and court fees. His lawyer, her and a few of his friends don't think I should be there living with him. When his kids have come over, I have made sure I was not there, so they would not be uncomfortable. Is there a law or unwritten law that says he cannot have me or anyone else living with him? I think that's crazy. Please help. Thanks. Bnnywbbit
The father can live with whomever he chooses. Since only HIS income can be used to determine support, whether you live with him or not doesn't factor into the support amount. The support is determined by a computer program so if the info entered into the program is correct, then that is the child support he needs to pay. What I find disturbing is that he cannot see his children. Unless it is shown he an addict or abusive, he has a right and responsibility to see his kids. The court will not look kindly on a mother who, out of spite, is keeping a father from his children. He in entitled to be with his kids UNLESS he is a bad father. But that means he is abusive or an addict. That he lives with you does not matter, unless you were an addict or abusive. The only other reason would be where you live is unfit for children to be there and puts them in danger. Only you can answer these questions. The court could give the mother attorney's fees IF she proved he was a bad father. But since, according to you, he can't see them, why would the mother be taking him back to court? IMO, I don't see how you living there matters at all.
