Father has child custody. Mother has a visitation however EX does not enforce with child. Mother re-married and has a 1-year-old child woith new husband. She worked last 5 months because her mother was here to help with child. Mother made $60 an hour temp job and now she is not working because her mother, who was watching the child, went home (out of country). New husband making $6000 net a month. Ex is claiming $15,000.00 in arrears. The original (1997) child support order was $780 a month. How the DA will calculate the child support?

Thanks

Re: Support Question

Dear Inquirer:

Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client

relationship, unless a written retainer agreement

is executed by the attorney and client. This

communication contains general information only.

Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client

communication nor legal advice. There likely are

deadlines and time-limits associated with your

case; you should contact an attorney of your

choice for legal advice specific to your personal

situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

web site at --

http://www.CaliforniaDivorceAttorney.com

The site contains quite a bit of general

information about California Family Law, as well

as information about me (education, experience,

et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees,

policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

The facts that you have provided are not clear

enough and/or complete enough to provide a

definitive answer to you inquiry. That notwithstanding,

you should be aware that the outcome of a DA enforcement

case is very unpredictable due to many non-legal

factors. The DA probably will try to enforce

the original child support order for $780 a month,

for the purpose of arrearage. Same for current support

unless and until someone gets the order modified

by the court.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with

us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.
