Question for OT Lawyers and Judges? Re: Child Support
Posted on 10/8/14 at 8:16 am

My son is 4 years old and I have been paying child support pretty much since. The job I had at the time of the judgement called for me to pay about $550 in CS and 280 in Day Care Obligations.
Now a while back I switched jobs, less money but better environment close to my home. The judge wouldn't lower my numbers because I voluntarily left. I got that and was ok even though I showed the judge the money I was investing in college fund and whole life insurance for my so . Went back again after working out a deal with the mother to alternate claiming for taxes(I had full priceless every year) and it was agreed to be a flat $700.
Now he is in Pre K and next year will start Kindergarten. The day care obligation should be over I would assume? Would it be worth going back to court for? My lawyer says it will but he wants the money, and my question is basically is day care obligations at the judges discretion or is limited to a certain school age when it has to drop off?
Also my wife and I are expecting our first child in April, does this new child affect the numbers?
Thanks just trying to hear thoughts before forking over money to my lawyer.

If you don't trust your lawyer, go consult another one.
You need to speak with that attorney or another one and have them tell you the potential outcomes on these issues, and ask for a fair assessment of the likelihood of those positive outcomes.
Regardless of general perception, a good attorney will want outcomes to match projections.

i suspect you will be paying about the same in child support for this baby after your second marriage inevitably fails as well.

Your ex is probably going to claim she has before school and after school expenses will more than likely be the same cost.

Daycare won't be ending, kindergarten is just part of the day usually. And in summers, he will need daycare.
I don't think your new child makes any difference.
Be a good providing father and skip lawyers fees to maybe save $100/month.
Does your new wife work? That might go against you....
Get a better job
