Question

Rachel is a 23-year-old noncustodial parent. Her ex, Brandon, has custody of their son, Jason. Rachel is a self-employed hairstylist, so she pays child support by check. Although she has some regular customers, Rachel’s monthly income is unreliable. She’s considered working full time at a salon to get a regular paycheck, but she likes her freedom. At this point, Rachel’s $1,100 behind in her child support and has begun getting past-due notices and phone calls. Last week, she received a summons to come to court. Brandon is frustrated and angry about not getting his child support. He recently sent a group text to members of both of their families and to several of Rachel’s close friends, explaining that he’s about to be evicted because Rachel is too busy partying to go to work and pay child support. This caused a lot of drama and led to a big fight in front of Jason. Brandon’s mother is on a fixed income, but she gave him the money he needed for his rent that month. What can Rachel and Brandon do about their situation? What might happen if they don’t do anything?

Answer 1

At this point Rachel have to forgo her freedom and look for a better job that can help handle the bills or more also add another job as a side hustle.

What should Brandon do?

In the case of Brandon, what he can do about their situation is to calm down and understand why Rachel is behind and to lessen the burden, he can start working and reduce the amount that Rachel has to pay for child support.

The thing that might happen if they don’t do anything is that both of them will loose custody of the child as they cannot afford to take care of the child and the child will be given to someone else who can carter for his needs.

Therefore, it is imperative that both of them put their heads together and use the solution above or find something to do to lessen the  financial burdens that they have. They need to set aside their differences and work for the good of the child.
