This is the situation:
My husband has a 14yr old daughter who lives w/ her mother in another state (they've never been married). Although, they've never gone to court to stabilish the child support payments, visiting etc my husband always paid child sup. However, yesterday we received an email from the mother asking for increasing and she also attached a chart for child support according to our state and said if he cant decide how much is fair, someone will for him!!!
Well, we found out he is only $89 dollars per month below what he currently pays.
The mother doesnt know how much my husband makes per month, but it sounds like she thinks he makes a lot of money and doesnt want to support his child with other activities and/or insurance, medical bill, braces, glasses, cars and college (according to her email).
Beyond the child support, he takes his daughter to summer vacation every year. The last one was a cruise to Alaska. She has been in Disneyland for several times. Plus, X-Mas and b-day presents.
My questions are:
1-Beyond child support, Is he obligate to pay for insurance, medical bill, braces, glasses etc?
2- After she completes 18 yrs old, Does he have legal obligation to buy her cars and pay for college or any other thing?
Feel free to ask me any further question.
Thank you very much
