So if there was already a ruling in place would that mean that the older ruling is upheld?

Here is what the whole section says if that helps. It's regarding my exes child support order.

" Because his child support payment reduces him to the subsistence level of the guidelines no current provision is made for medical contribution or day care expenses"

He was previously ordered to pay 50% of daycare and medical, and carry insurance on her "if it is offered by his employer"... which is never has. I'm going to take him to small claims just because I'm sick of playing nice and in the end I get screwed out of the money he's supposed to pay to help care for his daughter.

But also... according to the papers I'm at subsistence level too because I am a full time student and not working.
 
Ditto what Cathy said. They are telling you that he is going to pay the very bare minimum allowable child support, and no more health insurance, etc.
 
I know some people who would help in that matter... lol.

Nice... so he gets less than he paid before and no medical or daycare... which he never paid!

This is all based on both of us making eight an hour, so if he gets a job that's paying more, I could actually take him back again. I believe it's that it can only be once a year though... but yea. I don't care about it reduced, but the no part of medical is bs... because he's NEVER paid it. Everyone keeps saying my husband should just adopt her, but he won't let Jesse out of his obligations. If Hailey's father was dead or something that he would never be a part of her life he would. I personally think it would be too hard on her, she's ten and would know her father totally abandoned her.
 
My step-dad has to pay $360 per child for child support until they are 18. He also has to carry dental and vision for them, even if he doesn't have a job. As they are older, the child care/ day care expenses do not apply. His ex is unemployed and has been a student for the last 10 years. I know each state is different in dealing with child support, but if he doesn't pay he should fall under the deadbeat-dad law.

As to the adoption idea, you can keep an open adoption so she still has contact with her, just no legal rights or a set visitation schedule. It could make life more consistent for her. When I was 10, I was with my mom during the week and with my dad every other weekend, but I never wanted to go to my dads because I never knew what to expect.

Just food for thought!
 
She never sees her dad anyway. And if he had no parental rights ( which he'd love, he's already offered to sign her over ) I wouldn't deal with him at all. Signing over custody of her to my husband wouldn't change anything. We already never see him or hear from him, basically nothing would change except he would not have to pay child support... and my husband doesn't believe in not being responsible for your obligations so he would never sign the papers, and I respect that. He's already taken responsibility for Hailey, the only thing it would do is tell Jesse it's okay.

He rarely calls, and sees her maybe three times a year at the most, and it's usually because I'm in Columbus. He says I ' never let him see her"... what he MEANS is I don't take her there every weekend and pick her up. We've lived in this house six years, he's been here twice, once to pick her up, once to drop her off. When he dropped her off it was at one in the morning on a Sunday... she had school the next morning and I was furious. We have an agreement to meet in between, but he just never calls and asks to see or have her her a night, a weekend, or even for a day. Our in between is actually a half hour closer to him than us as well. He has no excuse, and my daughter is old enough that she's realizing what a pos he is.
