In need of help.

My child is 18 years old and has a child of her own. My ex is taking me back to court for 2 years of back child support. Can I request that my money go directly to my child ? My next question is based on a gross monthly income of $1200 per month how much will my weekly child support payment amount to?

If you believe that child support is not owed, you need to file for modification and explain why. Also, the amount of support is based on the state governing this matter's child support guidelines. Even at that, it is not written in stone since courts have leeway in crafting fair and equitable solutions. Given that the child had a child and support went to that child, there may be some extenuating circumstances. It may be wise to contact counsel locally. If you have little funds, many attorneys give free consultations, or if you are low income, you may be eligible for Legal Services or Legal Aid assistance.
