100 a week how can i get it changed

[Zigner]

...and then you get back to me and let me know?

Good news - we can cut out all the in-between steps. Go back and read the first two responses you got (heck, read them all again). You've already received your answer, over and over again.

Look Jwhite. You really cant do anything unless you want to quit school and get a job. Honestly. Im not saying that to be mean.

If mom makes 6 figures and can not support her household, there are some serious issues that have NOTHING to do with your father.

Dad makes 34,000 per year and is ordered to pay approx 400 per month? That sounds pretty good. Think about it. IF mom thinks that he is NOT paying guidelines support (the court has guidelines as to how they calculate support) then she should take him back to court.

Stop acting like a baby and read what is being told to you. No one is lying. This is how the world works.

So everyone agrees that This man can reduce his child support pay just because of the fact that they dont like each other? your saying it is ok for a man to be paying you 300 a week and then on sunday tell you to screw youself and now your only getting 100, no one has given me reason or logic, you all just say that i should move out but thats not the damn problem.

What's truly sad is that your Mom thinks it's appropriate to drag you into the middle of her mess. As stated earlier, if Mom thinks he's not paying guideline support, or if he's not paying the ordered amount, she can take him to court. But she should NOT have you calling him for her. Ever.

OP - I don't do pm's. If your Mom has a question, have her get online herself.

Agreed. What she needs is a financial counselor not an increase in child support.

The reason why you're not getting the sympathy you want on this topic is because there are PLENTY of single mom's out there who do not make six figures and yet manage to support families of 3 or more.

I have workers who make minimum wage (annual joint income which is 1/4 of what your mom makes) and they manage to support their families of 5+ without the $100 support a month.

Your mom needs to change her outlook and start cutting down on misc. costs and cut back on her current lifestyle to make ends meet.

I understand your situation but there are people out there who have it way worse than your mother.

Her parenting, from what we've seen here, is even more shockingly poor than her sad financial non-prowess.

 

[Silverplum]

The reason why you're not getting the sympathy you want on this topic is because...

MOSTLY it's because he's not a party to the order. He's one of the "children," trying to find out how to legally slap his father.

WE don't play those games with children. At least, most of us don't.

Well then I said all of this all wrong my moms a strong woman and its not a nasty battle the facts are this my father was a firefighter making up in the hihg 90000 he got hurt and disable leave or some b.s, and now he only gets paid 34000 a year and he is trying to give my mom 100 a week. Now my mom works for church and dwights and she makes six figures but thats not enough to run a house and support three growing children, im not tryin to get involved in court i just want to know how it can be changed. I support myself but when you see the person you love struggling to stay a float what do you do?...you help

If mom is making that much money, she and/or the kids have waaaaaay to expensive (and most likely unnecessary) habits. What the hell is all that money spent on that it can't support a household??? How about you go out and get a job and help pay your share if you are still living at home?

 

[MrsK]

I know that its not my fight, and its not my battle i understand that. I am just trying to help my mother out, im trying to help her help the family, because the man thats not there ne more wont even pay child support. i just dont see how 34000 can equal 100 a week, it just does not make sence...can you request all the information you need to know and ill give it to you, and then you get back to me and let me know? im having a hard time.

thanks

$100 a week is possibly very reasonable considering your mother makes AT LEAST 3 times what your father does.

Its not your father's job to pay 100% of the expenses...your MOTHER is responsible for a portion, too, and HER portion is much bigger because her income is much bigger.

In any case, you cant do anything about it. Get some therapy or something, to help with your "hard time".

 

[MrsK]

For the 100th time its not for me she does not support me anymore ive takin out numerous loans i pay for my own car, yes i eat ate home because i try to keep my family intact. You guys really know how to make people feel stupid, i camre to this website for advice not to get yelled at i just want to know what there is to do

thanks

If your mother can not afford her expenses, she is living above her means. She needs to rethink her budget & adjust accordingly.

So do you work? Do you give her money for food, electricity, clothing, water, garbage, sewage, cable, phone, etc etc etc etc
