Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Question:

My wife and I are negotiating our uncontested divorce pro se and trying to reach a divorce settlement.

In lieu of child support payments, we agree that I would continue to pay off a community-property debt we incurred while married.

How do we incorporate our waiving of child support into our divorce settlement?

Question:

My child support payments are due on the 1st and 15th of each month.

Is there a child support law that says my check must clear by those dates or just that the check must be in hand on those dates?

Question:

I am trying to modify my payments of child support arrears.

I do owe the money and intend to pay it back, but the amount being garnished is too high for me to survive on.

When trying to modify the child support amount, the child support enforcement unit said I am unable to modify the amount because my child is an adult and considered emancipated.

Is this true? How can I lower my monthly child support arrears obligation?

Question:

I would like to know how to handle child support calculations while I am currently unemployed during our divorce settlement negotiations.

My soon-to-be-ex-wife thinks my child support payments should be based off my high-paying job that I was fired from several months ago. However, I am currently collecting unemployment as my only income.

My concern is I will not be able to return to that salary level even though my child support payments could be based off that income. How do I address this situation?

Also, does child support normally start after the execution of the marriage settlement agreement or after the divorce has been finalized?

Question:

I currently have two child support orders.

If I pay off one of the child support orders, will the other order automatically increase because I will have more net income?
