How much child support does he have to pay if he makes $16 dollars an hour?
Q) My soon to be ex husband lives in Kansas and currently pays child support for one child through Florida. I have two children with him and would like to get child support. Even though we are still married does he have to pay child support? How much does he have to pay if he makes $16 dollars an hour?
A) Please contact your local child support enforcement office and speak with a counselor (or get legal counsel) regarding your child support needs. Each state establish and enforce child support orders differently depending on the circumstances of the case.
Your child support payments can be changed only by a court’s modification order. The modification process can increase or decrease payments. The ways you can lower child support payments will vary by circumstance. You will need to convince a court that the financial situation of one or both of the parents has changed substantially generally. To lower your payments, you will need to file a motion in court to modify your child support payments. Most courts have pre-printed “fill in the blank” motion forms You will need to file this motion in the court that issued the initial child support order.
