Child support complications after breakup
Whenever there is a breakup of any kind in a relationship and if there are children involved, child support often becomes a major problem. Fortunately, most jurisdictions have some child support laws that clearly lay down who will provide what kind of child support and what the penalty is if anyone fails to meet one's child support obligations, the situation is never that simple.
Let us look at Berenice's case. She is currently dating a wonderful man who has a little child but the child's mother is very jealous of Berenice and is very upset after the breakup. Berenice writes, "I know my boyfriend loves me but his ex wants us to break up. Is this situation going to affect the child? I don't want my boyfriend to hate his ex because after all she is the mother of his child. I think that both of them must keep a good friendship because of the child. His ex-girlfriend says that he cannot see the child anymore because they have broken up. What can I do to make sure that the child has the support of both parents and gets everything that he needs to grow up as a good boy."
This is a very tricky situation because the couple have not ended the relationship on good terms. While that would not be a big problem if there was no child involved, something needs to be done to make sure that the child gets the support that only his father can provide. If the child's mother insists on raising the child all alone without any support from the father, it is not only sad but also can be detrimental to the child's development. Most children like to have a father around so that they can enjoy the love that only a father can provide. In any case, the child support that he can provide will be of tremendous help to the mother so that she can provide for education and health of the child. We also know that as the father, he has a legal right to regular contact with his child (unless the court thinks otherwise for a compelling reason). In case the mother decides to remarry, the child will not be a burden to her next husband either, if he gets enough child support from the father.
What we suggest is the following:

What we suggest is the following:
- Your boyfriend must seek child custody legal help so that an agreement can be reached with the mother that allows him to have regular contact with the child and he can provide the child support that he wants to.
- You should stay out of this matter to the extent possible. You should not get directly involved in any dealings with the ex.
- When the child is with his father, you should try to be a good 'mother' to him.

I must warn anyone in this situation to seek legal counsel. A prenuptial agreement may be the best solution to issues that can arise. When I lived in Washington State the cost of child support could be passed on to the new spouse. So your income could be attached to increase child support. And then there is college you need to know what you liabilities couls be and do not make the mistake of thinking but my state... Defend yourself as the law is now any any possible future.
The second is is he money stupid? Many men in their first divorce give away the farm. Then there is nothing left and judges will let them do that. So that too must be on your mind, What obligations did he sign up for? Again a tough accountant and a killer divorce lawyer are necessary.
