Monthly Income

Question: Does the ex stll pay child support if I have sole custody? I have been separated for over 2 years and have just begun the uncontested divorce procedure. Along with this procedure I am going for sole custody. My ex does not support the three children we have together in any way, not financially, not in school, not at doctors, not in counseling, not at all, as a result I am seeking to change our status from joint custody, to me having sole. With this does that mean that he is no longer expected to pay child support, not that he has yet, but aside from the accumulating arrears, doesn't he have to continue to be billed?

Answer: Yes,he sure does have to pay support. The only thing that will relieve him of his child support payments is if you remarry,your husband wants to adopt the child and your ex agrees to sign over his rights. He is required to pay support until the child is at least 18 regardless of the custody order.

Question: is it possible for a parent with no sole custody to bring their kids to another country? I am divorced. Last weekend, my ex-husband brought my three kids to the U.S for one day without a letter of consent from me because I have the sole custody of my three kids. I am confused. Why were they allowed to go there without a letter of consent from me?

Answer: your husband is in the wrong. get an attorney.

Question: how long does it take to get sole custody of a child by a single mother who doesnt know who the father is? My fiance has a 2 year old child and needs to prove she is the sole parent. The father is not contactable. To whom and how does she apply to be granted sole custody of her son? She needs this authority to immigrate overseas.How long does it take? How much?

Answer: Exactly where does your fiance live? Is the father's name on the birth certificate? Nobody can give you any advice until you post this information.

Question: If someone has sole custody fo my kids,that mean i have no parental rights? I agreed to let my children stay with a lady and she said i have no rights to my children because she has sole custody.I did it because my son has a blood disorder and i had no car to get him 56 miles to the hospital.

Answer: You can only have your parental rights removed by the courts. If there was nothing signed by a judge, you still have parental rights, legally.

Question: If I file for sole custody of my child, does that mean he gives up child support? I want to file for sole custody. My ex does not see the baby at all. I even made an attempt to go over to is family's restaurant so at least his mom could see him. He caled me and said he was too busy and do not come over there. He has visitation on weekends, but I was willing to work with him on other times. He does not respond. What would you do? I'm fed up with trying to be nice about this.

Answer: You can try to file for sole custody but usually if the father asks at all for visitation then he gets it. Assuming he is a fit parent anyway. Dont deprive the kid of a father. If he is sending child support then just live your life like he doesnt exist. If he isnt in the way then whats the harm. One day your child will wander where daddy is and it would be a shame if he resents you for making the attempt of pushing him out of the childs life. If he still has visitation then its just his fault for not using them. You would get child support though if you had sole custody. The only way you wouldnt is if he signed away his rights completely. Even then unless there is another man (stepdad) adopting, he would probably have to pay.

Question: my ex wife has sole custody and i only have supervised visitations can i modify custody? can i get sole custody?? I have been jail twice for contempt to pay child support I am paying now.

Answer: You will need a lawyer, but the odds of getting sole custody are slim to none, unless the ex-wife dies, or does something completely inappropriate for raising a child.

Question: Would many American women give sole custody to the father? Would many American women give sole custody to the father, if the grand parent’s father’s parents will pay the mother more money than she could get in child support from the father? The mother can get only less than $50.00 in child support a month from the father by the courts.

Answer: Never. I would never sell my child, which is what you're asking. I didn't have my babies to get child support. I feel that it is important for my children to have both me and their father in their lives. If that meant that I had to get another job or a better paying job then I would. Selling my baby off would never happen...and I never would have chosen such a disgusting parent to be the father of my baby in the first place.

Question: How do i get proof of sole custody? I have 2 girls ages 12 and 14 they do not know their father. I need to get passports, but I have no proof that I have sole custody. We were not married so there is no record. What do I do how do I show that I have it???

Answer: If you were granted sole custody by the courts, it would be in the court papers. Otherwise, you don't really have sole custody.

Question: What percentage does your monthly gross income goes toward the mortgage? I'm looking at buying a new home in a few weeks and wanted to know what people are spending on there mortgages. Our gross is $10k. We're looking to spend $2500 on mortgage(including,tax,principal,insurance) which will be 25% of our monthly income. For those that spend more than 25% do you ever feel tied down? We still want to be able to travel and play and not feel tied down. We are almost debt free and dont have any kids. Both have stable jobs. Any advice would help

Answer: Lenders typically don't want you to spend more than 29-30% of your gross monthly income on your mortgage. I would go more conservatively and shoot for 22-25% of your gross income. Learning from some of my friends, you don't want to live for your house, and situations change and change quickly especially given the looming recession and given that residential property values are estimated to fall another 10-20% in most areas. In my opinion you would better off spending less and paying down on the mortgage more quickly to build equity.

Question: What do you think is the monthly income of a site with 1m unique visitors? What do you think is the monthly income from adds, all the advertising, of a site with about 1 million unique visitors per month? Just post your thoughts

Answer: Angie is right, it totally depends on the site. In my opinion, i million visitiors a month is not a lot when you compare that to huge sites like facebook or youtube. But, I'd say a site with 1 million visitiors a month is probably worth $5000 a month at the very low minimum, the site could make that alone in advertising costs.

Question: How do Mortgage lenders figure your monthly income if you work on Commission? Considering that people who work 100% on sales commission have months that can vary quite a bit, what do you they do to figure out your monthly income? Chir-- When they figure out your monthly income do they take 3 years and divide it by 3 to get the average or do they tend to look at the most recent year and consider that your salary? Because, if you got this job right at of college it onlys obvious that it would just keep going up.

Answer: Well that all depends on your Credit, down payment, loan type, and how much you have in assets. If you have excellent credit they may ask for very little verification, like you tell me and i believe you because of your credit. If your credit is good but not great they will ask for two years of taxes and take the lowest of the two years or take an average. With okay credit they will take an average of three years. But depending on the underwriter all this is subject to change. How Brokers determine what they need is by reading the desktop underwriting results, from whoever they plan to sell the loan to. So it is not cut and dry. Hope this helps, Good luck.

Question: How to calculate monthly income based on annual salary? Let's use this example - 30k annual salary Would you do: 1) 30,000 / 2080 = 14.22 14.22 x 160 (for four 40hr work weeks per month) = $2307.69 per month gross income OR 2) 30,000 / 12 = $2500 per month gross income The reason I asked is because in my current job, the math works out like in option #1. I get paid bi-weekly and calculated using the gross income value. But in my new job, the offer letter states my annual and monthly income in which the monthly income math works out like option #2. What's the reason for doing it one way or another? Which method is correct?

Answer: The difference comes from how often you are paid. If you are paid every two weeks, you actually receive 26 paychecks a year. Occassionally there will be months where you receive three paychecks, because each month (other than Feb) is actually slightly longer than four weeks. If you are paid twice a month like on the 1st and 15th then you would only be getting 24 paychecks, and each one would be slightly higher. In this case the math is: 30,000 / 24 = 1,250 per paycheck. 2 paychecks per month = $2500 per month. If you are paid every other week, then the math is 30,000/26 = 1153.85 per paycheck, but you can't really do a monthly number. For example, March has 31 days, which is 4.43 weeks, which gives you a monthly pay of 2,555. But in months with 30 days it will only be $2,469.

Question: What should i put as my net monthly income? I'm applying for a online savers account with my bank and it's asking for my net monthly income, i know what that is but my pay depends on what hours i do a month, so i can end up being paid from anything between £300 and £600ish. So what shall i put?

Answer: Assuming that you get payslips with your job, grab your last one and look at your net pay. It should show you how much you've been paid since April this year. Take the total since April and divide it by 7 if you're looking at your October payslip or 8 if looking at a November payslip. This will give you the average net pay for each month. If you're paid weekly, divide the total net pay figure from April by the number of weeks from April to the payslip you're looking at. Then multiply the average weekly figure by 4 to give you a monthly average. At the end of the day it's not vitally important which figure you use but best to be accurate in case you need an overdraft or loan in the future when the bank will want to know what you get paid when assessing whether to give you one as they'd need to know whether you could afford to repay it.
