Re: owe child but had two minors to care for could not afford to pay
Depending on the circumstances, the other minor children in your
home should have been a factor in determining child support. The time
the child in question stays within your home should also have been considered. Moreover,
if she makes more than you then, barring a volitional act on your part to make less than you
are capable of, she should be paying more in child support (assuming you care for the child at least as much as
she does). You should have obtained an attorney the first go round, you should consider hiring an attorney
for the matters now confronting you.
