I agree with justxploring. I've also known a couple of cases where a man's child support for the children of his previous marriage was increased apparently based upon his second wife's income. I say apparently because I don't really know enough of the details of the case and the law to be absolutely certain, though that is what the wife indicated. Also, because this is a community property state (as I believe California is, also) it does sound reasonable.

The truth is, none of us can rea... [ More ]

Thanks for all the insight!

I have determined that I like FOUR4me response the best and I'm going with that one.

He doesn't owe any back child support - they have equal custody.

So, I am going to establish a TRUST, file taxes separately from my spouse and get the best lawyer money can buy

I think we have a couple of those here in Md. I know the state MVA has a program. i am not interested in teaching people how to drive MC's. Or dealing with the states rules and regulations reguarding such a venture. Eventually my mind will wander into an area that will get me going again until then i'll keep dreaming about stuff.

4 things you need to start a buisness

1- goods or services

2- the building

3- the employees

4- capital to start and maintain business

How about starting up a motorcycle driving education course at first and then from your enthusiasts you may be able to get some to enter into your dream with you? You'll need a couple of acres for your obstacle course..with stopsigns and stoplights..mannequin pedestrians and that sort of stuff.

Thank's for your offer. I looked at a building the other day 1300 a month plus utilities. 2 floors 1800 sq foot each floor. I'm almost tempted to go for it. But i havent put the whole plan together it isn't something i could do all by myself. Need to find employees that are willing to get into a startup mode and suffer some losses until we get profitable. Still it's good to dream maybe that will come true maybe not. Meanwhile i'll keep looking for a cheaper building.

If your husband is behind on childsupport, probably..

When TN first started scratch offs.. A man won $7,000 on Lucky 7's.. He drove to Nashville to Collect and was given $2.68. The rest was for Child support. He was behind and the state was taking care of his children.

If you have any fines, taxes.. etc not paid.. State sees to it that those are paid first.

As far as sharing with the children.. Trust funds could be set up for them..

I'm sure it's only your blood relatives you need to deal with. Your husbands ex isn't entitled to anything of yours.

I wouldn't worry about that because I plan on winning the whole amount by myself. Claiming it under a trust is another way of saying that you don't trust anyone else with your money.

Most likely. You would really need a good lawyer for that trust. When you marry someone with children then those are the risks you take.

If you file a joint return and the child support collection is at the IRS level, then I say yes.

When I win the $189 Mega Millions jackpot this coming Tuesday, is there anyway my husbands' ex-spouse can claim any portion of the jackpot for child support for their two children
