When you receive back pay from child support do they send you the full amount or do they send half first then the other half later?

I don't know if this varies from state to state, but when I took my ex to court for not paying child support (a year's worth), he had to pay me the full amount within 24 hours.
I take "back pay" to mean, retroactive child support (interesting that this is characterized as "pay"). This is different from past-due support. Retroactive support is generally paid over time as a percentage of current support, usually 20%.

If you pay child support and are going to have a baby with someone else Will that reduce the amount of child support currently being paid?
No, the only thing that can reduce the amount you now pay is a reduction in income, but even then you will need to go to court to have the order of support changed. Unless of course you need to pay child support for the new child as well, then each child will receive a lesser amount than the one, but more total. In Nevada it is 22% of your income for the first child, 18% if more than one ( meaning that each child will receive 18% )
You have one child for whom you receive child support and another child of a different father. Is your child support affected by your having to care for both children?
Not really. It is based on a percentage of the pay of the parent paying child support and the number of children that are his/hers with the custodial parent.AnswerThe child support you receive for the first child from her father is not affected by your having another child by a different father. The first father is only responsible for supporting his own biological child.

Should a child support order change if your children's father is living with his ex wife and their 3 children and sharing household expenses while she is collecting child support for their kids?
No. Where he lives or who with is not relevant and he paid child support for their kids before he moved in surely.Another PerspectiveYou can inquire at the family court with jurisdiction over your case. Ask to speak with an advocate. You seem to think that his keeping the child support order for those children in effect, while he resides with them, may affect your child support from him. You should be able to get an answer to that question from the court.His child support obligation for his first family may well affect the amount you receive for your child.

Each case is treated separately so the first child will no longer receive child support when he/she turns 18 as with the younger child.
Do you have to charge your ex-husband for child support?
Do you mean should your ex-husband have to pay child support? Yes, most definately. This issue should be addressed when you and he go to court for the divorce. The amount of child support is usually based on the number of children you and he have, in addition to gross income. Do you mean child support that he was ordered by the courts to pay? If so, and if he is not paying it as ordered, then you can take him back to court and sue him for it. You should sue for any amount in arrears (the total amount of child support he is behind on). If you mean do you have to first ask for child support at the time of divorce, your attorney should have done that. If he didn't, then you can always go back to court and ask for it.

What is the definition of child support?
Generally, in a divorce when one parent is awarded the custody of the children, the other parent is ordered to pay child support so the child can share in the standard of living of both parents. It is the amount of money the non custodial parent must pay to help meet the expenses associated with raising their child on a daily basis. When determining the amount of child support, the courts must consider the state child support guidelines, the parents' income and earning capacity and the amount of time the children spend with either parent. Child support must be paid until the child is 18 years of age. If the child is living with the receiving parent and is in high school, child support will end when the child completes 19 years of age or graduates whichever occurs first.
