How does child support work when father is deployed to iraq?
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008
Amanda asked:
My son’s father is being deployed to Iraq in May, but leaves in March for his training. Child support is already court ordered, but I know that there will be a huge increase in his pay once he leaves. What should I do about getting child support increased? Should I contact his national guard unit or child support enforcement now or should I wait? If I wait until he has gone, how do I show his income?
He is ordered to pay, but has just started to pay because he will most likely to have to serve 30 days before he leaves. His court date is on the 18th for that. He is over 3000 behind already.
He is in the national guard so when we processed the orders he was working a minimum wage job. His pay will increase.
