    In NY - Will Court Still Determine Child Support if Father Pays Something
    My father's son and I do not currently have anything in writing regarding support. We verbally agreed to split the bills and for him to give $75 a week for the first month. We were also to reassess the weekly amount after the initial month.

    Here are some of the problems:

    * I have to constantly remind him to put in the payment.
    * If there is a dispute about a bill, he basically decides if he should or shouldn't pay so I get the shaft if he doesn't think he should.
    * He and I don't communicate well so we inevitably get into arguments.

    The baby is currently under insurance because my premium was ridiculously high.

    My Question - Can I still go to court in NY to assess child support? My intent is simply for the court to determine what is the right amount (as I have the feeling $75/week is not based on what he does for a living) and to enforce it so he and I don't have to argue about it anymore.

    Does anyone have any feedback/experiences to share?

    Thanks ahead of time!

    Yes-at anytime... The Court will follow s.c Child support guidelines.
