Child Support to NCP
Hi I've written before about child support to the NCP but now since we actually have a visitation schedule it may be easier for someone to give me a specific answer.
My question is concerning the state of CA. My husbands ex is the NCP. The schedule is 4 hours every Sunday for 8 weeks. It turns into Friday night through Saturday evening every other weekend. After 8 visits of that, it turns into full weekends every other weekend.
How would the child support turn out because we have been told that we would end up paying the ex and non constodial parent child support. In the beginning she has about 2% visit, and then turns all the way to 20% after 8 months. How would this all turn out. My husband makes pretty good money while working, but just got laid off and will get about 2 grand while the ex is on welfare with 2 children and I guess 1.5 hardships because she is living with the father of her newborn. She is also not working, so her income is none not including food stamps, medical and cash aid. We provide my step son with insurance so we wouldn't need her help with that; it's just the monetary help that we will need mostly since our income has been cut in half!
Please help and if you have any other question, please just ask! Thanks!!!

Re: Child Support to NCP
If there has been a change in circumstances, you need to ask for an evaluation.
Once hubby is working again, you need to do the same thing. Just like you would want him to do if you were in her place.
Good luck.

We aren't paying anything right now, there is no CS order in place. How would it turn out if we tried to get one in place? Would we end up paying her support or not?

Re: Child Support to NCP
Google your state's child support calculator and plug in the numbers. There's no way anyone can answer that without that specific information.
If it does show however, that you would pay cs, then it really is something hubby owes his child. (whether that is convenient or not.)

Re: Child Support to NCP
The only problem that I have with paying NCP CS is because for 4 years we have taken care of him without her help. She gave up her visitation rights, and just received some visitation through the court. We buy him everything, and as of right now she gets 2%!!!! I'm not going to pay money to a woman who doesn't help us with him and only gets him 4 hours a week.
I kinda figured that someone on here would be able to figure it out for me because when I go on the website I get confused with assistance, tax returns, and all that stuff that it asks for.
I just was asking for a simple answer!

Re: Child Support to NCP
The simple answer is you have to use the calculator. You plug in the numbers, (quite simple if you have them) and it figures it out for you. How could anyone possibly do it for you without knowing your specific information?
And...whether or not you feel it's fair, your state seems to think it is (if that is the information you are getting back) You really can't "fix" the numbers to suit your desires. They are what they are.
