Should he pay child support?
My husband and I share a son and we both have a child from a previous relationship. He pays $300 a month in child support for his child. I am completely ok with that. I mull over a man should support his child, but now that it is summer, his ex wants us to take his son for the summer or for weeks here and near since she can't afford to pay $1000 a month for him to go to daycare. I am fine with him staying near us a well, he is a great kid. My only concern is - if we have him for the summer, why would he verbs tp pay her $300 a month when we will have him full time. I don't think it is party. He says he will still have to pay. Is nearby something that we can do??? Because she will not voluntarily let him off the hook.
either settle the 300 per month the time son is with you and just let it be-or shift back to court and spend a few thousand dollars to get it set where he does not settle if in your custody for period of time--sometimes is easier to pay and be done beside it- What's best for the boy?
If she's the full-time care-giver, and having the boy stay with you is best for you and him. Isn't it worth it to pay her the support to hold this good decision made on the boy's behalf?
Just putting in my 2 cents.

You hold to read how the support order is written with regards to support and visitation. Some courts will allow the father to not wages support during months where he has the child for more than x days. Others take visitation surrounded by to account and the monthly support is based on this visitation.
If the support amount is set by court order and she won't reimbursement part of the support for the summer, you have the choice of saying no, maxim yes, but we charge x dollars per month to care for him or going to court to get the order changed.
if it;s his baby then yea!!!! very well in the UK the child support goes to whoever has the child at the time. So if you lived here and have the kid for the eintire holiday, then you would not have to pay. Is near a Government Organisation set up for people to pay money through? Be aware that they may take a percentage of the money for themselves.
I come up with morally at least you are right not to pay although Justin H has an arguement that she wants to maintain the kids home, and if she lived alone she could rent somewhere smaller. Maybe give her a reduced rate and see what happens Good luck
In this case, it's probably best to communicate to a lawyer. You may need to go to court to hold language added to the support agreement about suspending or reducing support payments when the child is in your husband's perfectionism for extended periods.
However, even if the child is not there, his mom still needs to discharge rent and utilities to maintain the home he will be going back to.
If he is ordered by the court or agreed within a divorce settlement to pay $300 a month in child support, he still has to foot it even though the child would be living with you. The only way to devolution this is to go before a judge and hold the court change it.
I agree with you that it is not fair, but that's the course it is under the current laws.
Unfortunately not unless you jump to the courts and get temporary custody for that time period, but it is a pretty far fetch thing for the courts to do. Refuse to take him. Period. Custodial parent has the right; she should be paying you.
Otherwise step back to the court for a temp. modification of the support agreement
He should not have to foot child support for his child while he is in your home. After all, the child support money he provides is for the upkeep of the child, not for the upkeep of his ex. Nevertheless, he may get into trouble if he doesn't work something out near the ex in advance. They're really not supposed to reach an agreement to be precise outside the child support order, but it would be silly to go to court over this amount of money. Get her to sign an agreement that says that he does not hold to pay child support for the weeks that his son is with you. It will probably mean that she'll hold to pay it back to your husband after she receives it. Or if she wishes to be hard headed about it, tolerate her keep him all summer and pay the daycare expenses.
You can hold the support "abated" for the summer. BUT you have to do it AFTER it has happend, & you have to jump back to court & have a judge agree. If the non-custodial parent have the child for more than 28 consecutive days that is an allowable circumstance for "abatement". That happened to us one year, my husband had his son, whom he does not own custody of, for 46 days straight about 3 summers ago. We told the cs office, they said a judge have to approve it before they would do anything. We had to go to court and PROVE that we have the child for that entire time consecutively. They figured up 46 days worth of support & my husband recieved a credit towards his account for that amount. You can bet that the mother never let him hold his son for that long of a time straight again. So it can be done without her agreeing, but you will have to fight for it.
