My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Washington
This is a question regarding child support.
My husband had an affair that may have resulted in a child. I am sort of the only wage earner in our household. He is a stay at home parent, but does earn a little being self-employed. We have three children of our own. I earn a middle class income, but we have a large mortgage and tight budget. Plus our kids eat a ton. I spend a lot of money on groceries.
I found an online tool that said I could end up paying $5-800 per month, depending on things like daycare and health insurance. If we have to pay that much we will probably lose our home.
I read on another thread here that they won't take the wife's income or garnish her wages. But I've looked at the Washington state child support website and it says they look at household income.
Would it help us to be legally separated? What if we still live under the same roof? I contribute to a retirement plan; will the money I put in there count as my income?
We do not know for sure if there is a child or not yet, I am just trying to prepare for the possibility. We have discussed this and will not be a part of the child's life, so will not be asking for visitation or custody. The woman is single and has three children already. I don't know her financial situation.
