child support question in maryland
I have twins (5 mos.) and their father doesnt take care of them. He used to watch them while I work but whenever he got mad at me for saying he needs to get a job so he can help provide for them, he wouldnt show up to get them in the mornings. I had to constantly call in at my job because of this. The last straw was last week when he left a message saying i dont appreciate what he does for me. I was forced to find a sitter, and have now incurred a daycare charge weekly. He doesnt work, he lives with his parents (he’s 34), drives a car that they own, and has no cares in the world. His parents provide gas, and whatever else he needs. I filed for child support when the twins were 1 mo. because I knew he wouldnt take care of them. His sis and mother offered to pay for formula and diapers to get me from following through with child support. I never got anything from them. We go to court next week and I am nervous. I know they will make him get a job within 30 days. Has anyone gone through this?
I have also filed for custody. If he thinks I have something to do every other weekend, then to get back at me, he wont pick them up. Its been too much backand forth…I want any agreements as far as visitation to be documented with the courts.
Viv,
Not to be rude…but wakeup girlfriend!
You are being gamed. Continue with the current process. There are formulas the state uses to assess child support. No the State can not force a person to get a job, however they do assign a responsibility to pay a specific amount each month. It is up to your EX to pay it.
Will he pay in full each month…I doubt it.
You must take him back into Family Court each time he fails to pay in full and on time. You must file a Contempt of Court motion each time.
Forget about his family, they will pressure, threaten, and coerce you to not file against the Ex. Document each attempt and take that to the judge as well.
BTW..whether or not he pays child support, he stills has a legal right to visitation unless a judge rules otherwise.
