In most states there is a formula depending on the fathers pay and other dependents that he has to what a child gets. You will probably need an attorney unless you arent going to fight about the child's guardianship, visitation and amount then you can file those papers yourself with a attorney that can help. Look in your local phone book or pennysaver.

If the parent with custody of a child sends the kid away does the other parent still have to pay child support?
It depends on what state you are in. The state determines how child support is calculated. Now, if you each have 50% residential time with the child, then no support may be due, however, if the child lives primarily with one parent, then the parent that the child is not living with is required to pay child support. The child support amount is usually based on your combined income and is then calculated at a percentage of the total income, for example: If you make $1,000 per month, and the other parent makes $2,000 per month, then you would be responsible for 33% of the child support obligation and the other parent would be responsible for 67% of the child support obligation. If the child support obligation was $200/mo., then you would be responsible for $66/mo., and the other parent $144/mo., therefore, if the child lived primarily with you, the other parent would have to pay you $144/mo. Hope that makes sense for you. Check out your state laws on child support, you can usually find them on the web. Take care.
If there is a Florida court decision for child support and the obligated parent moves out of state... Is the parent still obligated to pay child support once having left Florida?
Yes. There is no federal law regarding child support so states honor each other's orders regarding child support. If you fail to make payments, Florida will show you as deliquent on child support. The state where you have moved will honor a request for a judgment against you or garnish your wages to pay the support obligations. You must continue to pay your obligations to the Florida court.
Does the father have to pay child support and half of day care or just child support?
== == == == == == Financial obligations of either parent depends upon the terms of the child support order. If there is not a court order then the parent cannot be forced to pay a specific amount nor other expenses until an order of support has been received. Yes, the noncustodial parent is OBLIGATED to pay child support, figured out by a program entered into a computer program, based on each parents net income, as well as time shared by each parent, with the child or children. Both parents are required to equally share the child care costs incurred, while the custodial parent works and also goes to school in every state that I know of. As well as, costs incrued for any medical costs for the child over what the insurance pays out. Of course you need a court order to enforce this, although every court that I am aware of, will uphold these terms.

Can a father of a child file for joint custody to avoid child support?
There are two types of custody, legal and physical.With joint custody the child may dwell with the other parent for part of the time or with one parent all of the time with visitations for the other parent. It depends on the details and the state child support guidelines. If the child spends equal time living with each parent the child support obligations will be effected.

Child support id ordered by a judge, therfore any amendments and/or changes to a child support odred must go through the court. I suggest contacting the child support office in your area and they can advise you how to go from there.
Can there be no child support payment during joint custody?
Having joint legal and physical custody will not necessarily cancel out the requirement to pay child support. The court will use the state guidelines and factors such as the income of each parent, who provides medical insurance, the amount of time spent with each parent, the child's needs, etc.Having joint legal and physical custody will not necessarily cancel out the requirement to pay child support.

How does joint custody affect child support in wi?
For joint custody, child support in WI is calculated as follows: Each parent's gross monthly income is multiplied by the appropriate percentage (17% for one child, 25% for two children, 29% for three children and upwards). Each amount is then multiplied by 150% to account for household maintenance expenditures duplicated by both parents such as a bedroom, clothes, and personal items. Then each amount is multiplied by the proportion of the time that the child spends with the other parent to determine each parent's child support obligation (If placement is equal, each side is multiplied by 50%. If placement is 60% with the mother and 40% with the father, then multiply the father's amount by 60% and the mother's by 40%). Offset the resulting amounts against each other. The parent with a greater child support obligation is the person with the support obligation. Refer to Wisconsin DCF 150.04 for more information as it can be more complicated than this with various offsets and provisions for high income parents vs. low income parents.
Does cost of living factor in when deciding child support amount?
When states determine the amount of child support a parent must pay they do not necessarily factor in the cost of living. The basis for support is determined primarily of the needs of the child, the income of each parent, the ability for the non-custodial parent to pay and the standard of living the child was accustomed to prior to the divorce or separation.
Can you claim a dependent that don't receive child support money and will that affect dependent from not receiving child support money?
Claiming a dependent is not dependent on the child support issue but rather on the amount of time the child spends with each parent.
Does each parent in a divorced situation need to be responsible for paying the school for half of the lunch money?
Generally speaking, if there is a custodial parent and a non-custodial parent (joint custody is different and each case is unique), then the non-custodial parent pays child support and that child support is supposed to be used (along with the custodial parent's contribution, because they're responsible for providing for the child too) to pay for everything that the child needs, including lunches.
