I have come to realize, and a support order specialist confirmed it, that my second child's child support order was not opened....ever. So in eleven years, her portion of child support was siphoned off of my firstborn's... When she was born, the amount did not increase, and when I inquired as to why, this is the excuse I received:
" because the first order did take into account the
possibility of you having a second child (which you did). Once that
second child was born, she was added to the case, but support did not
change as the order already assumed that you would have an additional
child. It is likely that the support was not modified at the time of the
birth of the second child because the FOC assumed there was enough money
ordered to cover the two children. "
It sounds bogus to me. Has anyone else ever heard of this?
