Child support agency?

my partner of whom i am moving in with in a couple of months has a 6 yr old child with another lady.
she has just sent off all the forms for csa to be paid which has all gone through and is being sorted and we now know the amount he will have to pay each week.
i am abit worried to say the least..........as although i am NOT married to my partner but am moving in with him will i have to start paying for their child as well as i am in full time employment? or does this only stand if we are married? please help

sorry for it to sound confusing! also there is another little problem......the child does not live with my partner .......the child also does not live with its mother either!! he has always lived with the mothers parents since he was born! does this mean me and my partner can appeal so she has to pay her parents aswell? or i made this sound even more confusing! lol sorry

first off it not your kid so that cant make you pay anything. second yes the real mom of the kid should pay . and third you and your man should try to get the kid. no grandparent should ever have to raise there grandchild

I don't understand what you're talking about. If this is your "partners" kid, and you didn't help make this baby, then you will never have to help pay, whether you're married or not, unless you just are wanting to help him out. Hope I helped, hope that's what you were asking, I'm kinda confused.

If you bank your money together in one account, then yes, you will be paying for this child. If you keep your own money separately, then no... you do not have to pay. This is something you need to discuss with your partner. When I moved in with my husband before we were married, we were just living in his apartment. I was not paying for his child then. However, when we bought our house together, and made our savings/chequing accounts together, I then started paying for the support. So, it's a personal choice...whether you want to, or not.

your income cannot be used to pay his child support. Only his is used. It is done on a % basis. Here in Texas, it is 20% for the 1st child, then an additional 5% for each additional child. This is calculated by the gross income, not take home pay. If it is being taking out of his check directly, you will have less take home pay since the child support will be the first thing tht is taken out. Currently I recieve (well suppose to) recieve 35% of my X's gross pay...that is if he ever pays.

even if you're married it will come from his pay, if he is unemployed and you are working (and you're married) he just goes in arrears, you will never have to pay or owe on his child support, married or not.

the CSA cannot count your income when figuring his support amount, married or not... he should lie if you get married and say you are not working, it's none of the CSA's business... =)

a lawyer will tell the courts that your income does not matter... so, don't get a lawyer and he should tell the courts this himself... lie, lie, lie some more! =)

they can use your income as a help to his bills, though... which could make him pay more... no, they can't touch your income if he should lose his job... remember, don't tell them you work... =) and if she works, his ex, be sure he states this in court...! =)

And, if you get married, file an injured spouse form every year when you file taxes so the CSA does not touch them! =)

Good Luck! =)

If you are in the U.S. I know they do not count your income as part of the child support. I don't know about any other country though.Call the local child support agency they will be able to give you what information that you need.

Wow! I used to work for cps and I can assure you your wages wont be garnished nor will you have to pay a penny for this child, even if you were to ever marry him, so go back to your little world of playing house with your boyfriend, & dont worry you wont be responsible for his family in anyway, does your future shack up honey know that you were concerned about this? of course not! as if I were him, Id of bailed, being in a relationship with someone is about sharing and caring for each other, its not all about you!

you are not obligated to help him with his child support, just because you are moving in with him. This may also be the case even if you two were married, but you would have to check your states statutes for the accuracy of that.

Your wording is a bit confusing so am not sure of your status but believe you are female. The Child support agency normally arrange for fathers who have become "absent" from the mother of a child "HE" has caused to be born (i.e. by his sperm being injected into the ova of the mother) to have to pay a share of his income to help support the mother and child. So from the wording you give I do not think this would apply in your situation as you apparently played no part in that child's birth happening?
