Child support is determined by math. The income of both parents are taken into consideration, and what is needed to ensure the child’s quality of life. If you have an ex that isn’t paying, you can bring it to the courts and they will garnish wages from their paycheck to get to you. Child support debt is one of the few that does not disappear, even if someone gets jailed or declares bankruptcy. Once the court determines child support amounts, the only way a change can happen is if a change in circumstances can be shown and is approved by a judge.
