I was marrried before with the two. And already had a DNA test with new baby, I pay 800 a month for the other two but when I use the calculator it shows I will have to pay the new one 600 a month, and what about the car that's in both our names, is there any way they could make me pay a car payment on top of child support. I gross around 5600 a month according to pay checks, I don't know how all this factors in. I talked to one lawyer on the phone and he said that we could settle out of court but have it all wrote up and notarized and keep account of all payments. What do you think. She was willing to settle for 430 a month before. Just don't know what to do here.
The car isn't involved in child support.
However, by putting the name of another person on it, you complicated your life.
You can offer her a buyout for the car, or sign over your interests to the car to get out from under it.
If you financed the car, taking your name off the title has nothing to do with your name on the finance contract.
Never buy anything and put the name of anyone but your spouse on the title or deed.
The child support guidelines are pretty clear in most states, yours included.
It would be foolish to agree to child support outside of court.
Just don't consider that.
You can get this wrapped up for free, if you use the state to help.
The state will collect the money, too.
The calculator is an approximation, but generally very close.
The longer you delay, the more you'll have to make up in arrears.
The money is owed from the moment the child is born.
You are an adult.
You are free to make your own choices.
Good luck.
