Both a mother and a father can be the one earning the cash before the couple got a divorce and hence it is entirely possible for a father to get child support from a mother.
Neither a mother nor a father is guaranteed to receive child support at the outset. Who receives the child support will largely depend on the parent who has the primary custody of the child and the income of the parties. So for a father to be in a position to get child support order in their favor from the family law court, they may need to have primary custody of the child and likely also earn less than the mother.
The first step in getting child support for a father will need them to get primary custody of the child. The family law court will decide on the parent who gets to keep the custody of the child and make the important decisions based on the best interest of the child.
It is one thing having the ability to give the child the life that is in their best interest and quite another actually providing it. If you were financially dependent on the child’s mother for the running of the household during the time you were married. You will need to prove that to the court. Once the court is satisfied with this notion they will look to an estimate of the child’s expense, your earning if any and the earning of your spouse and their expenses before passing the child support order based on that.
