What age my kids could talk to the judge?

They shouldn't ever be talking to a Judge and it is improper for either parent to discuss custody and visitation issues or court actions with them.

Does mother pay child support

Dena Robin Taub
Answered by attorney Dena Robin Taub (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Taub & Taub, P.C.
Child support is based upon both parties' monthly net income and percentage of parenting time. An attorney would have to properly input this information and determine if there is in fact a child support obligation. I do not know the extent of father's income and whether mother exercises any parenting time. There may be a child support obligation, but an attorney would review and negotiate the most favorable support obligation possible.
