@Xena not necessarily true. Where I am, it depends on what each parents income is and how much they have the child.
Who's insurance is the child under?
My son gets mainecare like me and the children they have are on her insurance by her choice they use to be on his
Well, I don't think it's wrong at all for you to claim him. I know that could be an argument, if he was covering insurance
I am in ontario. 50/50, half of the child’s child tax goes to each parent. The law does say that if you have a child you are responsible for helping to provide for them. If your circumstances don’t allow for the support amount as indicated on court papers, you should go back to court and show them you can’t afford that amount and they will find an amount you can afford. No parent should be refusing visits based on money alone. If its not in the childs best interest to see the other parent then it needs to be brought up in court so a judge can decide that and so they know court ordered arrangements are broken.
I don’t know where you’re from but if you have a court order that shows you have the child 50/50 you don’t actually need to be paying child maintenance
