Hes joining the coast guard....now what??

My son is 18months old, and his dad is joining the coast guard. Right now we have standard papers drawn up, giving me 20% of his income, which he makes 10 an hour. He NEVER takes the baby when hes suppose to have him anyway. So will anything change since he wont be here?

I would take him back to court and get the child support modified.

why do you get 20% of his imcome? that's crazy.

Thats what standard is in texas, its 20% of their monthly income.

I have no idea. I had a blonde moment tho and meant custody. child support would be calculated around the custody agreement tho.

Well, I would think he'll be making more therefore, you'll get more for child support especially if you are going to be have the child full time. It's 18% in WI, and when there's job change or custody change, it's best to get it in documents!
