Hi everyone.
I have a question. About 8 years ago my husband's ex took their child and left. Complete alienation, it was bad. We attempted to go to court but could not afford it and she was nowhere to be found. Now she is back and wants child support. (non court ordered ever)the child is now a teenager..over the years we have found her and tried to begin contact with his child but the ex said the child didn't want to see him. We didn't want to disrupt childs life and so let it be. We also offered to pay child support each time we found ex and the ex said she didn't want it. It has never been court ordered.
Now she is demanding his last 3 months pay stubs and wants the money deposited in bank account set up for child. He doesn't make salary only hourly wages (16 an hr) and it varies weekly due to many reasons.
Question one: she keeps threatening back pay? yet everytime we offered in the past she said no
Question two: what legal grounds does she have if any?
We said we would go by the table amount and by his monthly earnings, is this suffice? We do want to contribute child support monthly but she is pushing him around.
Question 3: If she brings him to court, does it cost alot? anything? does she pay for his court costs too?
and finally what will the judge want for proof of income? he just started this job in sept and was self employed before then..
thanks!
