Child Support

I pay child support. I have a home today after maybe years of hard work. Child 17 she is now trying to get more money. my morgage keeps me broke. Can they make me pay more then I can afford. I pay 450 for 1 child. I dont even see this child or know him. It was not a nice story and child is victim. So I do want to help him. I know the law says 17% of salary. I would loose my house then, cause I can only give anoth 200 at most. And 17% of 75.000 is alot more. Please advise I have a hearing in 2 weeks

Re: Child Support

I'm not sure where you are getting your information. You really need to sit down with an attorney as you are clearly misinformed.

Re: Child Support

IN New York State the law is child support is 1/7 of income, but that is

not the law of New Jersey. We have guidelines. Secondly, you need not fear that you will be compelled to lose your house.

Call me if you like.
