Child support question
Do you know if you have to pay more child support if you rent or own a home? I'm asking for my brother, it's on the questionnaire he is filling out. He is renting currently but closes on a house in 10 days.
"Child support is for absent parents NOT failed relationships"
My views on child support usually pisses a lot of people off. I’m all for it if the father doesn’t take care of the child. I also hate when women get child support then tell the dad he needs this or that and when asked where the money went she says I had to pay rent. 🤔 so you wouldn’t have to pay rent if you didn’t have a child? Look I understand the thought process that he should help with half of everything for that child, but if it’s something you would have to pay even if you didn’t have that child or before that child it’s not his responsibility.
He going to say that he not gonna pay me alot in child support because his other kids and he know ways around child support is that stuff even true peoples advice??
Would you take your child's father for child support if he hasn't bought anything for the baby yet and he begged for you to keep the baby ?? Or wait to see if he helps a Lil later?? Or let him be??
Moms collecting support!! If you get married, could this result in your baby's father paying less child support?

pretty sure it goes based on ur income..

That's why I don't understand why it asks the question. It asks if you own a home, what is the mortgage balance. Why would this matter?

Yup ^

they want to see where your income goes when it comes in to figure out what the support payment will be

It matters because assets are part of the equation. Income and expenses will change the amount due

Ok, I was reading that a home is considered an asset while the mortgage is considered a liability. They take the asset into consideration but I didn't read anywhere that they take the liability. Just wondering. Thanks for the input!

Another question, if anyone knows. The ex originally filed in the county she lived. She has since moved to a different state, but the letter my brother just got is from the original county/state. Shouldn't she have refiled from her new state?

It would make sense that they transfer the case to the state she lives in now, but don't take my word for it.

She can but if she does he could pay more since it would be based on the guidelines there. Plus the processing fees for out of state collection some places do.

He already pays nearly $700 a month now plus 70% of all medical expenses. He doesn't mind, he's her dad and has no issues supporting his daughter but he can't afford anymore money. He and his wife are expecting their first baby due in march as well.
