This is a child support hearing. The mother, Crystal Raymer, and the father, Ethan Ward, are in court to determine child support for their son, Malachi.
The court proceedings involved a case of paternity and child support. Crystal Raymer and Ethan Ward appeared before the court regarding their child Malachi Ward. Crystal agreed with joint management conservatorship and expanded visitation for Ethan but requested lower child support than proposed by the state. Ethan also agreed with the arrangements but requested a deviation in child support amount.
Here are some key takeaways from the conversation:
The state proposed a child support payment of $443 a month, based on guidelines.
The mother requested $160 a month, citing her higher income and the need for the father to be able to support the child during his visitation time.
The father also requested $160 a month, stating that it would allow both parents to support the child's well-being.
The state argued that the proposed amount was less than minimum wage for a person making $7.25 an hour, and therefore insufficient to meet the child's needs.
The judge ultimately ordered the guideline child support amount of $443 a month, but also allowed for an expanded visitation schedule as requested by both parents.
It seems that the judge sided with the state's position on the child support amount, recognizing the need for the father to contribute significantly to the child's financial support. However, the judge also acknowledged the parents' desire for an expanded visitation schedule, which could help to ensure the child's well-being while in both parents' care.
Child support is money paid by one parent to the other parent for the purpose of providing financial support to a child or children. Most frequently, child support is paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent, but this is not always the case. Depending on where you live and the agreement you reach, the child support you pay or receive and what expenses it should cover will vary.
