What is the name of your state? MA
my son's father and i had agrred on 300 a month child support - recently he bought a new car and told me that because he now had to make a car and ins. payment he could not afford the 300 and he would see what he could scrap together for me - he recently said it would be 150 a month. he also said that his lawyer told him he was payign to much and that he would have to make 900 a month to pay 300 for his son. what do they base child support payments on? i have been providing everythign for my son - medical dental daycare and daily needs - he has only paid me 450 since he was born. my son is nine months old and although i can provide for him - i was wondering what his father obligations are - his father is seeking joint custody at this time as well. he said that since he provides for him the two days a week that he has him - that is enough and i should not be asking for more than my 150 a month. any info would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

  • You need to go and file for child support ASAP.
    It is silly to think that he will pay voluntarily.
    Thank goodness I did not go that route, I would never get a dime!
    You should of filed as soon as the child was born.
    But file ASAP, like tomorrow if you can.
    They will take from him what the states rules on, and they have a percentage set up.
    Good Luck and Move Fast!

  • Hee Hee on him. You should ask for what the state says yo ucan have. go to www.supportguidelines.com click on the mass calculator. if you know what he makes and what you make. see if it adds up.
    he should be paying anywhere from 21 to 27% of his weekly income. he should also be responsible for medical whether he or you is providing it. Also daycare should be worked out.
    As far as custody goes, Joint LEGAL is the standard usually, physical is something you will have to work out between you.
