Thank you so much, I don't receive child support at all for neither one of my children. However, randomly my daughter's father would send my daughter maybe $150 every 6 months or maybe $300. When he does he try to question where the money goes or why I spent money at target. I get so angry because if he knew his daughter she loves target clothes, and they have her personal needs she needs on daily basics.
Exactly. My ex took me back to court in Texas to lower the CS. He stated in the petition that his CS paid my bills. After I submitted all my child's bills etc he looked like a fool in court. His CS went 100 % to my child while I contributive 300 %. His CS was actually then increased based on his income he submitted as he lied to avoid increases.
See I think abt all those things and take into real consideration when I’m doing for my kids... so I don’t just pay child support I actually do all the school supplies and shoes, take care of all hygiene and hair products as well as school activities and after school activities... I tell people I take care of my kids as if they live with me...
How about we stop giving primary custody to the parent who is less financially stable automatically, if you can’t handle the basic necessities on your own as a parent child shouldn’t be with you...... child support is not helping the child it is only subsidizing the income of the other parent to be close to the others, but at the same time the parent without primary custody still has either the same or close to the same expensive everything that parent with the child has the opposite parent need to have whenever the child comes with them..... and most of the time when the parent without primary custody has the child for an extended period of the time the other parent doesn’t compensates them their money back for the time the child wasn’t with them..... if you can’t take care of your child while they are in your custody that is no one else fault but your how about you do better at life
von Thank you for your feedback! Be sure to subscribe to the channel! From my experience as an attorney, I can’t say that the child is automatically given to the less financially stable parent. Financial stability doesn’t play much of a role in determining who will be the primary parent. It has more to do with one parent’s daily duties of the child.
von How about stop having a provider/dependent model [i.e. (non)custodial parents] and not being solely concerned with what the noncustodial parent makes for the purpose of putting a price on the (wo)man's head? Here's another idea. Let's leave the Federal government out of parenting all together.
OliveOyl12590 Thank you for tuning in and be sure to subscribe! I agree. The government should not have to tell parents how to rear their children. The parents should work together and decide. However, that’s in a perfect world so in cases where parents can’t get it together, the intervention of government serves its purpose.
So, everything you just said the custodial parent has to pay for applies to the non-custodial parent as well with the exception of school lunches, but it could be argued that it is a grocery bill that increases when the child is living with you. Now this is fine for a single parent whose baby's momma or daddy doesn't want the child in thier life, but not for a parent that wants 50/50 shared physical custody. Even if they only got 45% physical custody the non-custodial parent still has these same bills as the other parent. Where is that calculation added in at. Oh!! That is why Texas and all other states besides Kentucky don't have a default shared custody law. This is why the courts make it exceptionally hard for non-custodial parents to get more physical time with thier kids, so that the courts can justify child support. This is an absurdity that is tainted by politics and not the best interest of the child!
In California mothers income also is taken into consideration. Just saying I never hear that here always the noncustodial parents income. I really tried to be reasonable in requesting what was needed. I feel sorry for father’s in Texas. All the ugly fighting about money is sad. My daughters relationship with her dad more important to me then lots of money. So I did not let it become issue. At one point I was getting nothing because he was not working. Then went to low paying job so I was only getting $35 a week. Then went back to good paying job and I started getting 200.00 every 2 weeks. I just did not slow the money to define what was important. Child support was extra money. I can take care of me and my child. I think not many people are able to feel as I do. I also only have one child. I like nice things and I wanted to live a nice life so I made that happen for me and her. I got this! The end
Got a question for you Judge. What happens when there's a willing father that can take care of and wants to take care of the child but the mother won't let him see the child? She steady wants more money but yet won't hold to her end in the Child support contract.

That 9 billion goes to judges, court clerks, attorneys administration and enforcement. And child support is voluntary.
Shoot, my daughter's father is ordered to pay a lil over $75 month. He doesn't pay it, ever! So instead he rushes to claim her on taxes first, and the court pays me out of the refund; however, he's not entitled to claim her while being behind on support...so hes basically paying me with money that should already be mine🙄😒 It's been over 2yrs now that I set up a court date,but he has managed to get it rescheduled/pushed back 10+ times!!

No. Child support is based on income, not where you think the other parent should be shopping or whether or not they should be clipping coupons. Whatever they do with the money is their business, if they over spend then oh well they don't get anymore child support until the following month.
Help me understand. I saw where you counted a one-time settlement of $20,000 as income. You then base their monthly child-support to include that $20,000, but happens next year when their income is now down $20,000? It now appears to me me that person is now paying child-support at a higher rate than what there actual income would normally require.
Im feeling what you are saying, but i feel that something is lost in translation. What about the non-custodial that gets weekly or bi weekly visitation? Dont they have to pay for all those same expenses? Like an extra bedroom, extra light bill, clothes, etc. And what about the custodial that is on public assistance not due to a disability? Should they be given access to food stamps, section 8, daycare vouchers, when they can work? But then the state goes after non custodial to pay debt back to state, isnt that double dipping the non custodial? And to get those benefits the custodial is basically saying...." I cannot properly take care of my child" but instead they are given help, but if a non custodial is behind in CS, they are punished?
Those are her bills.. the other parent should not be responsible for the other parents bills.... so if another parent can't afford it.. when don't the courts send the child with the parent that makes more money
More viewers need to come across this video. I did want to ask if you had an answer on why the non custodial parent had to pay 100% health insurance. I also wonder if a custodial parent paid $200 for healthcare and the non custodial could get healthcare for $50, would the court make the non custodial pay $200 or make them keep the child on their insurance at all times(the non custodial's insurance)?
Sorry judge , but like u said in other videos, one person cant pay for everything, the other spouse also needs to help with the expense. I believe thier should be a limit. $550 is good enough. Not how much does one person make to judge how much to pay. When the couple was married, it was skys the limit family OR sorry family we on a budget. Now they broke up. HOLD UP time to cut back. Cant roll like back in the day. Daddy's got to move on also with his new life. ( of course the child can come along for the ride) . Its bull to make someone pay $1,500 to $5,000 or more depending on thier income. Thier needs to be a limit per child. Its child support, not ex support I be dam I'm 30K and you going to make me give up 20K for the child while baby momma living it up with new boyfriend
Currently my child stay with her dad because we had agreed thati was going to keep her one year and him another because i moved out of the state and then i got court papers that he wants full custody so i moved back to the original state. Now he dont want to give her back everything got pushed back because of this virus. But he only pays me 40 a week for the past 9 years. I trien to gather the money to pay my lawyer to go to court to try and get her back. But do u think 40 a week is fair. Oh n he had also got a settlement about 4 years ago but i never asked for none of that money. I really hope the judge gives her back to live with me full time seeing as too he never really was in her life. But since he told me lets just sign this notorized letter so we dont waste money on lawyers i trusted him.(before i moved out of state]
What if you're paying close to 300 a week and the mother puts the child in a children's home at seventeen they weren't getting along and he didn't want to come stay with me
Support Court with Judge Vonda B. Not as of yet, been trying to convince him to come with me, right now i feel he thinks his situation is temporary, and going back to his mom's, i dont want that, but ill see what happens in the next month, before making a decision being this is recent
Good afternoon judge Vonda B. First off I would like to say I have been watching your channel for some time now and want to say that a lot of your information is informative but a lot of it ain’t. You go into breaking down what 350 dollars broken down is a day but you don’t explain that the law states well in New York that is 17% of your gross income is what you pay for one child . So you figure you would have to gross any where between 370 375 a week which would add up to 88 dollars a week that in return be 352 a month. Also the other parent as well is equally responsible financially for their child as well. Also if the person paying child support has a minimum wage job and that’s all he can get due to lacking certain skills, maybe the person does not have a H.S diploma or even might be a felon. These are factors to consider as well. And you not yet specify if the child maybe and infant or a young adult meaning 17 and older. Now yes I would agree with you a 100% on a infant needs a lot of help but again you can only do what you can. But and adult child which I call them that cause it has to come a time when they have to start contributing. Also child support is not intended to leave the other person where they can’t survive or is it? Thank you for you time and your show but you need to show more situations with more people with realistic income instead of 50 and 75 thousands a year. And talk about young adult teens and even college.
The part she dont talk a about is the mother being unfit to support a child financially. Meaning if your receiving child support on gov. Assistance ( living rent free receive gas card also government pay the light bill last thing is they get food stamps. That alone is almost $2000 a month for them. This debunks everything she is saying but guess just dont have kids if dont dont want to have problems. 8f the father have a job making good money to support him and the child why not give full custody of the child to the Father.
I have a question y don’t the mother or person receiving child support give something to the other parent when the children r with them. Instead of one parent double paying if the money is only for the child. I am just asking
Because that would be equality under the law. Child support is a scam. I not paying for somebody's rent or utilities when they should be paying their own bills. There is absolutely no accountability on what the money received by parent on what that is to be spent on. Itemized everything but how the money is spent on the child.
E L Thank you for your comment. Personally, I’m not opposed to an accounting of what the custodial does with child support money. However, I do not see Texas legislatures making that a requirement.
E L So who is going to keep accounting of this? Child support agency? Or another we have to create another Dept)Agency to keep track of spending... Uploading documents.. Further burden the system. Smh
Seems like these people that demand this child support should be keeping up with it. But we all know the ones getting the money are usually against it. You know,accountability and all. Or better yet who ever pays the money just buys the child what he or she needs as the parent let them know. But then again that's to easy.
That's some very very bad accounting. I hope your not presiding over anyone case. I have been on both sides of the coin(Experience). Kid live with me without any child support and pay child support for a kid. It sounds like your trying to justify that title 4-D funding you all get for them child support payments. First, if both of them parents are involved then that kid has two homes so both parents has to provide a extra bedroom. I am sure both houses has lights to. The primary parent light bill will be slightly higher maybe about 70 difference at most between the two homes. Food cost also may be alittle higher 150 difference and transportation about 75 different. 150+70+75= 295 plus insurance if child not on medicaid about 350 to make a total of 295+350= 645 a mouth split between parents. The child support formula is completely way off and its artificially increases the cost of raising a kid for the one who is paying child support and choosing to be involved. The cost of raising a child is the (parent cost to live- the expense the child adds) which is not a big difference in most cases. That formula only works when one parent is a absent parent or a deadbeat. I don't know where you get 11 a month from when both parents are paying to provide a home for that child. You would have to exclude the fact that the child has two homes for that 11 to be true. Its sad that the system is so focused on title 4 funding that its more beneficial money wise to walk away from your child then it is to be a parent to your child after a break up. Try this math. If he walk away and just pay the 350 and never provide anything else he would pay what he would have paid had the household stayed together. If he chooses to stay and parent his kid then he has to pay 350 or close to it while providing the same thing that the custody parent is providing in addition to expenses such as clothing, products and other things for the child. The parent who does the right thing for they kids get the raw end of the deal. I am sure when the government made this law that they figured that most people will be suckers for they kids. The smart ones abandon they kids and pay the child support.
Greetings, Your Honor! Quick question: If a mother puts her child's father on child support then takes them but only to put them back on Child support three years later, is the father entitled to pay the "arrears" amount for the 3 years the father wasn't on child support?
I hate these analogies. It’s always like the dad doesn’t have the kid at all. Times are different. Dads are in their kids lives. Even though some kids does not live with their dad what about when they pick them up to and from school/ when the father has the kids when they feed them cloth them etc WHILE on childsupport . Shit if that’s the case . When I pick up my kids your ass better make me a pot of food for when I have them and give me 11 bucks for the day when their at my house using up electricity etc
If a father's name is not in the birth certificate of his son and he has been paying child support to the mother. When the name is added to the birth certificate does the father have to pay back all the past years, does it begin only from the day the father's name was added to the birth certificate or is there a quantity deducted from what he payed already in the previous years if there is some prove? Thank you.
Lol I have to laugh at all of you,you mean to tell me that you need someone to tell you what's best for your children and what your children need and don't need huh,which equals what you should have never been a parent you cant even make your own decisions and I bet you'll be the first ones to get offended when someone says you can't possibly be a good parent well how could you your being told what to do by people that dont even know your children for one, and number 2 they probably have more problems than you just be straight forth and say your there for the check like no one can figure that out,and lastly if the parent that won custody of the children had to pay for everything or give the child to the other parent you wouldn't see one person in court this is a B/S scam
You over generalize way too hard in this to support the extortion of good (wo)/men with their childrens best interest in mind..I dont condone dead beat parents but each situation is unique. The judges as well as child support employees benefit off extortion of the non custodial parent. In fact, you all wouldnt have jobs if we had a remedy, so that is something all of you do not want. I could poke holes in most everything you said but I'll save that for a place that it may actually have an effect
David Morris Extortion? Two people laid down and had a child without using a calculator first. That's not Judge Vonda B's problem. If you cannot afford the legitimate expenses of a child you should have kept it from happening to begin with. So go ahead and make a video "poking holes" I'll wait. I don't think you really should be poking holes though, that's how people get in this mess to begin with and then blame everyone except themselves.
And something else that you did not touch on Division of Family Services would not allow a child 2 sleep in the same room as the custodial parent that is why a lot of parents on child support and Social Security barely making it but if they would budget and do without that new car and all of this that they could easily make enjoy your program I wish you would make a playlist I hope did you have a enjoyable day attempt to stay cool over there in Texas because they has been a hot summer

Difference is a man don’t support he goes to jail the woman can’t support they get government assistance huge difference
Im feeling what you are saying, but i feel that something is lost in translation. What about the non-custodial that gets weekly or bi weekly visitation? Dont they have to pay for all those same expenses? Like an extra bedroom, extra light bill, clothes, etc. And what about the custodial that is on public assistance not due to a disability? Should they be given access to food stamps, section 8, daycare vouchers, when they can work? But then the state goes after non custodial to pay debt back to state, isnt that double dipping the non custodial? And to get those benefits the custodial is basically saying...." I cannot properly take care of my child" but instead they are given help, but if a non custodial is behind in CS, they are punished?
Those are her bills.. the other parent should not be responsible for the other parents bills.... so if another parent can't afford it.. when don't the courts send the child with the parent that makes more money
More viewers need to come across this video. I did want to ask if you had an answer on why the non custodial parent had to pay 100% health insurance. I also wonder if a custodial parent paid $200 for healthcare and the non custodial could get healthcare for $50, would the court make the non custodial pay $200 or make them keep the child on their insurance at all times(the non custodial's insurance)?
AirmanSoupaman Great question! It would be at the $50 that the non-custodial parent pays.
@@JudgeVondaB makes sense. Thank you.
AirmanSoupaman You’re welcome!
I love watching support court but I cant help but be salty at my £6.73 a week child support 😫
he got a power bill too! 5 year olds don’t run up that dang much.
Sorry judge , but like u said in other videos, one person cant pay for everything, the other spouse also needs to help with the expense.
I believe thier should be a limit. $550 is good enough. Not how much does one person make to judge how much to pay.
When the couple was married, it was skys the limit family OR sorry family we on a budget. Now they broke up. HOLD UP time to cut back. Cant roll like back in the day. Daddy's got to move on also with his new life. ( of course the child can come along for the ride) . Its bull to make someone pay $1,500 to $5,000 or more depending on thier income. Thier needs to be a limit per child.
Its child support, not ex support
I be dam I'm 30K and you going to make me give up 20K for the child while baby momma living it up with new boyfriend
You can be sued.. you are not a judge you are a attorney...
Utilities is not the fathers responsibility.. Nor is the rent.. School is free. Unless its a private school..
Currently my child stay with her dad because we had agreed thati was going to keep her one year and him another because i moved out of the state and then i got court papers that he wants full custody so i moved back to the original state. Now he dont want to give her back everything got pushed back because of this virus. But he only pays me 40 a week for the past 9 years. I trien to gather the money to pay my lawyer to go to court to try and get her back. But do u think 40 a week is fair. Oh n he had also got a settlement about 4 years ago but i never asked for none of that money. I really hope the judge gives her back to live with me full time seeing as too he never really was in her life. But since he told me lets just sign this notorized letter so we dont waste money on lawyers i trusted him.(before i moved out of state]
What if you're paying close to 300 a week and the mother puts the child in a children's home at seventeen they weren't getting along and he didn't want to come stay with me
At any point, did you go back to court to make the court aware of this change?
Support Court with Judge Vonda B. Not as of yet, been trying to convince him to come with me, right now i feel he thinks his situation is temporary, and going back to his mom's, i dont want that, but ill see what happens in the next month, before making a decision being this is recent
Ok. The court will be only place you can get any sort of relief so when you are ready, that should be your first move.🤗
Good afternoon judge Vonda B. First off I would like to say I have been watching your channel for some time now and want to say that a lot of your information is informative but a lot of it ain’t. You go into breaking down what 350 dollars broken down is a day but you don’t explain that the law states well in New York that is 17% of your gross income is what you pay for one child . So you figure you would have to gross any where between 370 375 a week which would add up to 88 dollars a week that in return be 352 a month. Also the other parent as well is equally responsible financially for their child as well. Also if the person paying child support has a minimum wage job and that’s all he can get due to lacking certain skills, maybe the person does not have a H.S diploma or even might be a felon. These are factors to consider as well. And you not yet specify if the child maybe and infant or a young adult meaning 17 and older. Now yes I would agree with you a 100% on a infant needs a lot of help but again you can only do what you can. But and adult child which I call them that cause it has to come a time when they have to start contributing. Also child support is not intended to leave the other person where they can’t survive or is it? Thank you for you time and your show but you need to show more situations with more people with realistic income instead of 50 and 75 thousands a year. And talk about young adult teens and even college.
I am learning so from you! Thank you so much🙏🏽
The part she dont talk a about is the mother being unfit to support a child financially.
Meaning if your receiving child support on gov. Assistance ( living rent free receive gas card also government pay the light bill last thing is they get food stamps. That alone is almost $2000 a month for them. This debunks everything she is saying but guess just dont have kids if dont dont want to have problems.
8f the father have a job making good money to support him and the child why not give full custody of the child to the Father.
Preach!
I have a question y don’t the mother or person receiving child support give something to the other parent when the children r with them. Instead of one parent double paying if the money is only for the child. I am just asking
AL Will Thank you for your comment!
Some parents do this but it’s definitely not the norm.
Because that would be equality under the law. Child support is a scam. I not paying for somebody's rent or utilities when they should be paying their own bills. There is absolutely no accountability on what the money received by parent on what that is to be spent on. Itemized everything but how the money is spent on the child.
E L Thank you for your comment.
Personally, I’m not opposed to an accounting of what the custodial does with child support money. However, I do not see Texas legislatures making that a requirement.
E L So who is going to keep accounting of this? Child support agency? Or another we have to create another Dept)Agency to keep track of spending... Uploading documents.. Further burden the system. Smh
Seems like these people that demand this child support should be keeping up with it. But we all know the ones getting the money are usually against it. You know,accountability and all. Or better yet who ever pays the money just buys the child what he or she needs as the parent let them know. But then again that's to easy.
350? Got damn that's a lot.... Guys just don't have any kids.
That's some very very bad accounting. I hope your not presiding over anyone case. I have been on both sides of the coin(Experience). Kid live with me without any child support and pay child support for a kid. It sounds like your trying to justify that title 4-D funding you all get for them child support payments. First, if both of them parents are involved then that kid has two homes so both parents has to provide a extra bedroom. I am sure both houses has lights to. The primary parent light bill will be slightly higher maybe about 70 difference at most between the two homes. Food cost also may be alittle higher 150 difference and transportation about 75 different. 150+70+75= 295 plus insurance if child not on medicaid about 350 to make a total of 295+350= 645 a mouth split between parents. The child support formula is completely way off and its artificially increases the cost of raising a kid for the one who is paying child support and choosing to be involved. The cost of raising a child is the (parent cost to live- the expense the child adds) which is not a big difference in most cases. That formula only works when one parent is a absent parent or a deadbeat. I don't know where you get 11 a month from when both parents are paying to provide a home for that child. You would have to exclude the fact that the child has two homes for that 11 to be true. Its sad that the system is so focused on title 4 funding that its more beneficial money wise to walk away from your child then it is to be a parent to your child after a break up. Try this math. If he walk away and just pay the 350 and never provide anything else he would pay what he would have paid had the household stayed together. If he chooses to stay and parent his kid then he has to pay 350 or close to it while providing the same thing that the custody parent is providing in addition to expenses such as clothing, products and other things for the child. The parent who does the right thing for they kids get the raw end of the deal. I am sure when the government made this law that they figured that most people will be suckers for they kids. The smart ones abandon they kids and pay the child support.
Greetings, Your Honor! Quick question: If a mother puts her child's father on child support then takes them but only to put them back on Child support three years later, is the father entitled to pay the "arrears" amount for the 3 years the father wasn't on child support?
Good afternoon! Great question!
It really depends on the judge. Some judges would say no while others would entertain it.
@@JudgeVondaB Thank you so much for your time and response!
Reuben Benjamin You’re very welcome!
Thank you for this
You’re welcome!
Wow so helpful
Judge I have My first Paternity hearing On feb 22nd and I’m just kinda worried bc I’ve never been in this situation what should I expect ?
Thats fine. Can that parent get welfare, food stamps, etc
What happens if a married women has sex with another man while she is still married to her husband
Shomari Monroe It depends. Are you asking in regards to paternity?
Support Court with Judge Vonda B. Yes
Shomari Monroe A paternity (DNA) test needs to be performed. The husband is presumed to be the father unless he is excluded through paternity testing.
Support Court with Judge Vonda B. Ok
I hate these analogies. It’s always like the dad doesn’t have the kid at all. Times are different. Dads are in their kids lives. Even though some kids does not live with their dad what about when they pick them up to and from school/ when the father has the kids when they feed them cloth them etc WHILE on childsupport . Shit if that’s the case . When I pick up my kids your ass better make me a pot of food for when I have them and give me 11 bucks for the day when their at my house using up electricity etc
If a father's name is not in the birth certificate of his son and he has been paying child support to the mother. When the name is added to the birth certificate does the father have to pay back all the past years, does it begin only from the day the father's name was added to the birth certificate or is there a quantity deducted from what he payed already in the previous years if there is some prove? Thank you.
Clark Ken not if you keep receipts and can prove you have been paying her.
@@JaydeLarue and what about the receipts that tend to fade away? They're not good anymore?
Lol I have to laugh at all of you,you mean to tell me that you need someone to tell you what's best for your children and what your children need and don't need huh,which equals what you should have never been a parent you cant even make your own decisions and I bet you'll be the first ones to get offended when someone says you can't possibly be a good parent well how could you your being told what to do by people that dont even know your children for one, and number 2 they probably have more problems than you just be straight forth and say your there for the check like no one can figure that out,and lastly if the parent that won custody of the children had to pay for everything or give the child to the other parent you wouldn't see one person in court this is a B/S scam
You over generalize way too hard in this to support the extortion of good (wo)/men with their childrens best interest in mind..I dont condone dead beat parents but each situation is unique. The judges as well as child support employees benefit off extortion of the non custodial parent. In fact, you all wouldnt have jobs if we had a remedy, so that is something all of you do not want. I could poke holes in most everything you said but I'll save that for a place that it may actually have an effect
😂
David Morris Extortion? Two people laid down and had a child without using a calculator first. That's not Judge Vonda B's problem. If you cannot afford the legitimate expenses of a child you should have kept it from happening to begin with. So go ahead and make a video "poking holes" I'll wait. I don't think you really should be poking holes though, that's how people get in this mess to begin with and then blame everyone except themselves.
to avoid all this, don't have kids. I understand....
Y’all want women equal rights until it comes to depending on a man financially
And something else that you did not touch on Division of Family Services would not allow a child 2 sleep in the same room as the custodial parent that is why a lot of parents on child support and Social Security barely making it but if they would budget and do without that new car and all of this that they could easily make enjoy your program I wish you would make a playlist I hope did you have a enjoyable day attempt to stay cool over there in Texas because they has been a hot summer
Your obviously bias
