I have a question about child support. I get child support for my two children according to our state calculation work sheet. Between our incomes and child care, and medical insurance the state has come up with an amount. He has always complained about the amount. I will be having another child with my new husband, and am expecting to take some extended medical leave with out pay from work. Since I'll be home the children will not be in day care. I know when my ex catches wind that they aren't in day care he will jump on the system to change my child support. Since I won't have any income and this is temperary, will they change the child support temperarly? I'm not thinking it will pay on his end since I won't have a income?? Does any one know the answer to this?
I just don't want to go to court for a temp order and then again for another perminant one when I come back to work and they are back in day care? Any advise?

Not sure about your state, but at least here your income has nothing to do with how much child support the one person pays, It is purely dependent upon their pay, Plus then other items like medical care and day care can be added.

So unless he is paying extra because of the day care, it should not, if he is paying a percetange of day care then that amount could be reduced.

Thanks for the input, our state actually calculates the child support based off many factors. First is how much they are with each parent, then both parents incomes, any additional expences such as day care, and medical insurance. I played with the calculator that was on line and it looks like it would drop by 200$ a month if I'm not paying day care. But then when I put in a $0 income for myself it was still the same support. So I'm currious if they would mess with it at all. I'm thinking not?? But I'm just sick of going to court every few months over custody, child suport, something...

Get used to going to court if you have children from a divorce with support and visitation.

Over 15 years I was back into court once or twice a year most years and even after a few years of no court about 10 times in one year.
