Child support must be withheld, up to 50% of the employee's disposable earnings, before deductions for other withholding orders are taken. The only exception is if a federal tax levy is received before the Order/Notice to Withhold Income for Child Support.
A new child will not reduce future support unless you are under court order to support the new child, and actually paying. Even then there are no guarantees and you will get little sympathy given your history, plus judges frown on people who are behind on support fathering more children.
The court can award an alimony amount within the target range or can deviate from it based on certain specified factors, including the recipient spouse's age and ability to be employed. Duration of alimony is now set based on the length of the marriage.
Nope. Child support, in general, is based on the biological father and mother's incomes, expenses, medical and educational for THEIR child. Very rarely does additional children outside of that tight circle factor in. The father and mother who produced their child have equal responsibility.
Modify a Child Support Order Either parent may request a modification of their existing child support order when there has been a significant and continuing change within the household, such as adding or changing health insurance, a loss of a job, disability, or an increase or decrease in income for either parent.
Child support for the first family should not go down if the father has another baby. The new child support should be calculated based on the remainder of the the father's income after the initial child support order is subtracted. If the father is receiving social security, however, this is different.
