Child Support Help

#803437 - 06/06/13 10:27 AM

Question regarding child support. When we divorced we agreed (signed and notorized in our separation agreement) on child support amount, 401k amount, etc. We have 2 children, two years ago our eldest decided she wanted to live with me. This changed our amount, because now she had 1 and I had 1. I still agreed that I owed her child support because of income differences and used the online tool to come up with an amount. She disagreed and thought it should be higher so went to child support enforcement, they came up with same amount I did and ordered it through the courts, which worked out good so that I wouldnt have to directly give her a check. Now, the eldest who lives with me is graduating high school and leaving for college. My es has went back to child support enforcement to have amount changed now that my eldest is leaving. Here is the catch...our previous signed agreement says it will be "x" amount when our eldest is gone, but now she wants a lot more based upon what child support orders. The child support agency sways their order over rides our agreement. Do i have a chance to stand in front of judge and explain that we have a signed agreement, and that it was calculated based upon other financial agreements (401k, etc)? She also isnt helping to pay for college...but i understand that she doesnt have to.

Child support laws override any private agreement you have.

Did you give up more 401K funds than you needed to? Regretfully, if you did, that won't play into the equation.
