Can i request if mothers husband has been claiming our daughter for his taxes that his income be considered
Case Rating: *
Brett, in Pennsylvania, the court generally considers the incomes of both parents when determining child support obligations. However, the income of a stepparent, such as the mother's husband, is typically not considered unless he has legally adopted the child.
Would you like guidance on how to gather evidence or present your case effectively?
He has not legally adopted my daughter but he is the sole provider for mothers home
Case Rating: *
Brett, since the mother’s husband has not legally adopted your daughter, his income typically won't be considered in child support calculations. However, you can still present evidence showing his financial support as part of your overall case.
Is there anything else you need help with regarding this process?
If he is claiming my daughter on taxes doesn't that indicate he provides for my daughter more than half the year willingly so his income should be considered?
Case Rating: *
In Pennsylvania, even if the mother’s husband claims your daughter on taxes, it doesn't necessarily mean his income will be considered for child support. The court mainly focuses on the biological parents' incomes. However, presenting this information could support your case.
Would you like more information on how to present this evidence effectively in court?
Yes
Case Rating: *
Sure, Brett! Here are some tips on presenting evidence effectively in court:
- Organize Documents: Ensure all your evidence is well-organized and labeled.
- Highlight Key Points: Emphasize how the evidence shows the mother's husband providing support.
- Witness Testimonies: Consider having witnesses who can confirm the financial support.
Would you need more specific guidance on any of these points?
Would submitting a transcript from custody court in which mother stayed she doesn't need to work she gets court ordered child support be beneficial to a child support hearing
Case Rating: *
Submitting a transcript from a custody court where the mother stated she doesn't need to work because she gets court-ordered child support can be beneficial. It can help demonstrate her refusal to work despite being able to, which is relevant to your petition to terminate child support.
Is there anything else you need help with regarding this matter?
Please provide me child support cases in pennsylvannia where child support was terminated due to mother's refusal to work
Case Rating: *
Brett, I can't provide specific case examples, but here are the general conditions in Pennsylvania where child support may be terminated or modified due to a parent's refusal to work:
- The parent is capable of working but voluntarily unemployed or underemployed.
- The court finds the refusal to work is willful and in bad faith.
- Evidence showing the parent's ability to earn and refusal to seek employment is presented.
Would you like more detailed guidance on gathering evidence or preparing for your hearing?
Yes
Case Rating: *
Sure, Brett! Here are some detailed steps to gather evidence and prepare for your hearing:
- Document Collection: Gather all relevant documents, such as the transcript from the custody court, evidence of the mother's ability to work, and her refusal to seek employment.
- Financial Records: Collect financial records indicating the mother’s household income, including any contributions from her husband.
- Employment History: Obtain records of any job applications or offers the mother has received and declined.
- Witness Statements: Consider having statements or testimonies from witnesses who can speak to the mother’s employment situation and household support.
