What is the name of your state Massachusetts
My ex is asking for more money. We had an agreement set through the courts a few years back during our divorce. My son is now approaching 13 so I did offer her the state mandated 10% plus I threw in another 5% for good measure and to round it off.
Of course she wants more, her life situation is rough at this point, new baby new husband who can’t keep a job ect.
My life on the other hand is the opposite my new spouse makes good money, I have a good career we work hard and we invest and save wisely. I also have 2 other children with my new wife.
I want to do the right thing for my son but I also don’t want to be raked across the coals by her either. There was a time I would just give in to her but things have changed in the years we have been split up and I have more to consider than I did when we first broke up.
I am active in my son’s life, he is a big part of my family and close to his half siblings. I pitch in for things outside of support like school supplies clothes ect when he needs them
Should I offer her more? or just let her go through the process of taking me to court?
Will the courts take into consideration that I do have other children? I am not a deadbeat Dad just trying to get out of paying child support.. but at some point I think I have to stand up for myself.
