Legal Question in Family Law in New York
My spouse and I have beenapart,but,not divorced yet.I am working,my spouse is on disability. I have 1 child with me.My spouse has our other child. I pay support according to NYS guidelines for the child with him,minus medical,dental and phone costs which I pay 100% for our children. I feel since I have 1 child and my spouse the other child,it should be "a wash" and I do not have to continue to give support money since my spouse does not give me any money for the child I have in custody. Our child that is with me also has several medical bills that my spouse does not give money for. Can you please advise if I am correct or not that I feel I should not have t pay support money? Thank you.

You will each have to pay 17% of your adjusted gross income to the other, in addition to a pro rated amount of the children's out-of-pocket health related expenses according to your respective incomes.
