A: Your marital status has nothing to do with either custody or child support. However, neither a custody or support case can begin until after the child is born.

The fact that you make more money than him doesn't matter. He still has an obligation to support all of his children. The court will use a formula (guidelines) which takes into account his existing child support obligation for his son and determine how much he should have to pay you.

Children need stability in their lives and you have obviously not provided that since your mother has been raising your daughter. However, you should continue to try your best to be a good mother and in time you will get her back in your life. ... Read More
