Question:
My wife lives in CT with my son who is 8 years old. She is making about $120,000 per year when I'm making $30,000 per gross/year. I'm already paying $200/months. She is asking me now for $500/month. But I can't do it; My income doesn't allow me to do it. What is the exact amount I should pay?
Answer:
I am not licensed in Connecticut. Every state calculates support differently. You should use the online support calculator for your state to determine the correct amount of support. Keep in mind you cannot on your own modify support. Only a court order can change support. If you ex wants more she must petition the court for more support. If you want to lower support you must do the same thing.
