LEGAL DEFINITION OF WHAT IS CONSIDERED ALIMONY AND CHILD SUPPORT
Q: Can goods and services be exchanged in lieu of alimony or child support? My ex decided that he has paid for other things, I never agreed to nor does he have the receipts for these items with my name on it. He has also claimed that the checks written out to cash and endorsed by himself was money paid to me. No depisit shows on my bank statemenI. I know he never gave cash to me. He would really be considered a foolish Banker being in the industry to do something like that. It seems almost outrageous to me. Especially knowing the conditions in which I live because of him not paying alimony and child-support,
Can I have my child support case moved from Manhattan to the Bronx for a new hearing?
Q: Before I was granted custody of my two children in 2016, a child support order was made in 2015 in Manhattan by social services. The order is for $92 per month which is absurd and not even 17% let alone 25% for 2 kids. I would like a new hearing in the Bronx where the children and I have resided for almost 6 yrs. Is this possible or am I stuck with the same judge whom I feel has an ex parte relationship with my ex?

Can a judge make me get a full time job if I'm working part time now?
Q: Reason why I'm asking is because, the last time I was in court. The judge said that I have to get a full time job. I want a full time job. But the one i went for checked my background and they stated I have a open criminal court case in Bronx county. They said once it's over we will take you.. Which is true. But that same case is for child visitation. Yes, it's weird. I have 2 court dates. One for child support and 1 for child visitation. Child support in family court. Visitation in criminal court. Mind you, I have no criminal charges.

Ncp always dropping off at a different time
Q: My daughter father and I do not have a court order. We used to have one but it was cancelled when ncp failed to show up to a hearing. The ncp is supposed to bring our daughter back at the agreed upon time of Sunday at 4pm (every other weekend). He ALWAYS brings her back at different times. Sometimes its as late as 6pm and sometimes its as early as 1pm. This is frustrating since I cant plan my day correctly. He will text me Sunday morning telling me he is bringing her back at 1:30pm and then get to my place at 1pm. Or he will text me at 4pm and tell me he is bringing her back later. The inconsistency is frustrating. If we have a court order will he be allowed to do this? I have an infant with my current partner and I need to be able to have a schedule so that I can make sure my baby is ready to bring downstairs to get my oldest daughter.

How soon can i submit a child support modification? And how would it impact me with a change of employment.
Q: I have worked for a health-care corporation for about 8 years and i make about 40k a year. Just last week i was hit with child support at a monthly rate of 740 a month. An amount that everyone in court is still surprised and in doubt with. About two years ago i got my child's mother a job working at the same corporation i work for. She makes 54k a year. Whats making my child support bill so high according to my attorney. Was the 45 percent of child care cost that she claims she pays. Overall, i am facing living in New York city with a net income of 1100 a month. Which we all know is impossible, just my rent alone is 900 a month (all expenses clearly verified in the affidavit). Im considering a change of employment. Something that gives tips and earned income could be proven in court at no more than 15k a year. How will this impact my modification request. And how would this also impact the 45 percent of child care cost expenses that the judge included as additional amount of child support dues?
