Is there any benefit to not establishing paternity?

So I had a relationship that ended in 2021. The female from the relationship had a child shortly after. During our relationship and up to 3 months after, I never used protection and the activity was similar to that of people trying to make a baby. She looked pregnant at one point. Then she had a baby. How can I find out if paternity has been established? What does she have to gain by not establishing paternity?

My ex claimed “significant financial hardship” to request a larger child support payment. What should I do?

In our child support case, my ex claimed "Significant financial hardship" in her objection to request a larger payment. She has provided no proof of such and has objected to all discovery requests to prove her statement. Though, she answered one that was in the same timeframe as others and in the same field (costs associated with providing for the children), yet objected to the rest as overreaching and irrelevant. This seems wrong. Advice?

[OH] Will I go to jail for not paying child support?

I was just slapped with $11k in child support arrears due to my ex objecting to the original order last year. The magistrate didn’t allow me to present evidence, so my ex ended up being granted an increased amount from me and the $11k in arrears calculated back to April 2024. Will I be arrested even while paying it? Or would my ex be able to get me arrested for it being such a large amount?

[OH] Is child support based on income or expenses?

I found out my ex pays $0/mo in rent and health insurance while I pay $1600/mo in rent and $624/mo for insurance. Is the $2224/mo difference between our living situations able to be used in order to deviate down my child support obligation of $1302/mo? I have been restricted to work fewer hours by my doctor for my foot issue, and I cannot pay my bills with such a high amount of support now that my hours have been cut.

[ID] Does Idaho law support my position that child care during medical leave qualifies as “work-related” due to temporary incapacity?

Does Idaho law (Rule 120) support my position that child care during medical leave qualifies as “work-related” due to temporary incapacity? Can the other parent be legally required to pay their share even if I wasn’t working but was medically incapacitated? Is the court likely to view my decision to maintain child care as reasonable and necessary under the decree?
