Preguntas frecuentes

¿Cuál es el pago mínimo de manutención infantil en West Virginia?

La obligación básica mínima de manutención infantil es de $50 mensuales cuando el ingreso bruto ajustado combinado de los padres es inferior a $550 mensuales, según el W. Va. Code 48-13-302. Un juez puede ordenar un monto diferente según los recursos de los padres, los gastos de vida y el número de menores que requieren manutención.

¿El ingreso de un nuevo cónyuge afecta la manutención infantil en West Virginia?

No. El ingreso de un nuevo cónyuge está excluido del cálculo del ingreso bruto para fines de manutención infantil. Sin embargo, el ingreso de un nuevo cónyuge podría afectar indirectamente la situación financiera general de un hogar, algo que el tribunal puede considerar en ciertas circunstancias.

¿Pueden los padres acordar no pagar manutención infantil en West Virginia?

Los padres no pueden simplemente acordar que ninguno pagará manutención infantil. Cualquier acuerdo por un monto diferente al de las pautas debe ser aprobado por el tribunal de familia. El tribunal generalmente no aprobará un acuerdo por un monto menor al presuntivo si un padre recibe asistencia pública en nombre del menor.

¿Cómo afecta la custodia 50/50 a la manutención infantil en West Virginia?

Cuando los padres comparten el tiempo de crianza de manera igualitaria, el tribunal usa la Hoja de Trabajo B para la crianza compartida extendida. Se calcula la obligación de manutención de cada padre y luego se compensan entre sí. El padre con mayor ingreso paga la diferencia. Si ambos padres ganan montos similares, el tribunal puede determinar que no es necesario ningún pago de manutención infantil.

¿Qué sucede con la manutención infantil si estoy encarcelado en West Virginia?

Los padres encarcelados por más de seis meses pueden solicitar una modificación de su orden de manutención infantil. Sin embargo, las obligaciones de manutención continúan acumulándose durante el encarcelamiento a menos que el tribunal conceda una modificación. Solicitar la modificación lo antes posible después de que comienza el encarcelamiento ayuda a evitar la acumulación de atrasos que se deberán después de la liberación.

§ 501Extended shared parenting adjustment.Vigentecitada en 2 de nuestros artículos
Child support for cases with extended shared parenting is calculated using Worksheet B, §48-13-502 of this code. The following method is used only for extended shared parenting: That is, in cases where each parent has the child for more than 127 days per year (35 percent). (1) The basic child support obligation is multiplied by 1.6 to arrive at a shared parenting basic child support obligation. The shared parenting basic child support obligation is apportioned to each parent according to his or her income. In turn, a child support obligation is computed for each parent by multiplying that parent’s portion of the shared parenting child support obligation by the percentage of time the child spends with the other parent. The respective basic child support obligations are then offset, with the parent owing more basic child support paying the difference between the two amounts. The transfer for the basic obligation for the parent owing less basic child support shall be set at $0.
