Is there a legal issue with retroactive child support?

Mar 09, 2011

mens divorce lawyerQuestion:

I was recently ordered to pay child support at a percentage rate of 20% of my earnings, which I have no problem with.

But at the closing of the hearing, the judge decided to apply retroactive child support and add it to the original amount which would increase my weekly payment to 26%. Is this legal?

How is child support determined when income is variable?

Jan 14, 2011

divorce attorney Jill DuffyQuestion:

My ex-wife has never been satisfied with the amount of child support she receives. My payments have already been increased and now she wants them to be even higher.

Since I am self-employed, my income tends to fluctuate. I could afford the higher child support order when times were good, but with business being slow I cannot afford to make these increased payments.

How can I get the child support amount to reflect my variable income?

Ask a Lawyer: Cap on child support

Nov 29, 1999

Question:

Is there any sort of limit to child support. I just got a new raise and was wondering if there was a way to cap my ex-wife's ability to participate in my new salary. She works part time half-heartedly and well below $20k. I am supporting two households and for the first time in 4 years, might be a little more comfortable. I have my kids nearly 50% of the time, and my ex-wife gets more on a tax equivalent basis than I do of my paycheck. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Answer:

Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of Massachusettes. She will have to petition to get more support. At that point you can ask the court to take into consideration the other factors, and request deviation from the child support chart. All of the facts you have on your side will aid in a deviation argument, but they are generally difficult to win.
