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?

Dear Inquirer:
Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client

Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client

choice for legal advice specific to your personal
situation, at once.

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.
