Child Support Modification Florida

OP: If you are going to spend so much time retorting with your emotions instead of your intellect, why not use your registered name? You aren't fooling anyone. You will get no further indulgence, which is exactly what you believe your words will provoke. People like you do not want actual help or advice. You simply want to fight. You are clearly a High Conflict Personality and it's not a wonder your ex is taking you back to court for support modification.

One thing that needs to be pointed out, again, is the fact that you posted your business on a PUBLIC MESSAGE BOARD (comprehension plays a critical factor here), and as such, THE PUBLIC is FREE TO COMMENT, and WILL comment. The fact that you are too immature to handle comments that are not sugar coated and everything nice has no bearing on the fact that anyone can post whatever comments they choose. If you don't like it, don't throw your business out there for the whole world to read and comment on. You need to grow up. The world is not teddy bears and tea parties.

Good luck to you and I hope you get some help for your anger issues.

I don't think anybody wants to fight except you. You are spending your time writing essays on how immature someone else is and have the nerve to call someone else a "high conflict personality".

By the way, I don't think being a "high conflict personality" factors in a support modification...As you said, comprehension plays a critical role (factor is not used correctly in this application) here. Good luck to you as well!!

I think you are both nuts for arguing on here. OP asked a question, and some people gave him an answer, others just critisized him on here. grow up or go home!

Just to refresh, here is the original post in its entirety. If the OP would stop posting as another person sticking up for himself, essentially, the thread would not have gotten so out of hand. Who really cares what his mental stability is, or is not. His problem, not anyone else's.

He asked: "Do you think the court will raise my amount?". The answer is, yes. That's the only question he asked. He did not give further details; such as how many kids he is supporting currently, what the ex's income is, whether or not the ex has a new husband/boyfriend, or whether or not the kids are on his taxes and insurance annually. Whether or not his income has increased recently, if he has any other children outside of the one(s) he's currently supporting. So, right now, without all of that information, the only answer to give is "yes".

The original poster asked for opinions. He didn't ask for facts. He also, presumedly, is aware that nobody here is an actual attorney. Attorneys don't hang around message boards waiting to dole out free advice. Therefore, any responses he receives, he is free to practice restraint and ignore, or go in the opposite direction, which is what he has chosen to do.

The question has been asked and answered. Therefore, any further comments will be purely superfluous.

Just to clear things up, I am the OP and I haven't posted since message #6. I was just asking a question, I wasn't trying to cause a stir. Quite frankly, I could care less what a faceless, nameless person on an internet chat board thinks of me, so I would not waste my time defending myself.

I should have listed more info however....

I have one child, which I pay $360 per month for
My ex has no income that I am aware of....she holds a Bachelor's in Education that she has yet to use.
My child is covered on my health insurance which is only about $200 per month/we split non covered.
She claims my child on taxes every year
I have a wife and another child that live with me, although I don't believe that matters

I am meeting with an attorney on Monday...thanks for everybody who tried to help...I really appreciate it.

You believe wrong. Any other children do factor in. It helps the courts calculate how much child support each child needs.

Based on the new information you provided, it's probable your child support payments will be raised, but how much it will be raised will hinge on factoring in what financial support your child that lives with you as well. What you believe does not matter is what matters the most.

It's good that you are meeting with an attorney. All men in cases such as this should have a good attorney who is trying to help get the unbalanced, bias towards men eradicated from the infested family court system.

Good luck to you in court.

Is the child who currently lives with you your biological child?

How can she claim the child on her taxes each year if she does not work? Your child support is not enough, annually, to justify filing a tax return. What's up?

Including health insurance, you are contributing $560 per month. How often do you see your child? Are there any overnights?

If you see your child close to 50% of the time per year, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. It sounds like your ex is just being vindictive.

From what you wrote, your cs SHOULD go DOWN. Only because the change in circumstances...you have another child you are caring for. I only say this because I pay cs to my ex wife for my daughter, it WAS $900 a month, now I am remarried and have two more children. I also don't make as much as I did before. The court takes that into consideration, and my cs was lowered to $300 a month.

Good luck. I know that some people think that if you are born with a golden vajayjay you should be banking money from the dad, and some people think if you are born with a hanging apparattus, you are made of money. Neither is true. Moms use their golden vajayjay rule to try to rule the kids, your money and the world. They are soon finding out that the golden vajayjays of the world aren't so golden afterall.

Good luck!!

That hinges on whether the child living with him is actually his biological child. If it's not, he's not obligated to support that child. This means that child won't factor into the equation.

To the angry poster above: Children cost money. The more children a person has, the more money they need to make to support them. It's really simple logic. It has nothing to do with who pays the most money. The money non-custodial parents pay per year is a fraction of what the custodial parent pays annually in order to keep the child financially supported. One child should not have to take a back seat to another simply because the adults can't learn simple math lessons in life.

Biological fathers who feel as you do -seemingly that women are evil money grubbers- should file for full custody of their children. They also should refrain from getting involved with the gender they find so offensive and they certainly should have learned not to create anymore children with any other money grubbing women. But apparently you have learned nothing except how to be bitter while being a hypocrite at the same time.
