Velasquez Perdomo v. Osorio

This matter is on calendar following Petitioner’s (Mother) May 13, 2026, Request for Order (RFOs for guideline child support for the parties’ two minor children, Angel (DOB: 05/19/2013) and Irma (DOB: 06/17/2015). The matter was originally heard on June 11, 2026, and continued to July 2, 2026, for Respondent (Father) to get assistance from the Legal Self Help Center.

Mother submitted an Income and Expense Declaration on May 13, 2026, and reported zero income, $1,100 income from partner support from a previous relationship, and $1,110 contributed by her husband to her expenses. Mother reported that she does not file taxes. Mother stated she doesn’t work because she stays home to care for a baby, but the infant is not listed or identified on page 3 of her IED.

Finally, as it relates to Mother’s submissions, in her June 18, 2026, Declaration, Mother states that when they were a couple, Father told her that he earned $35 to $40 per hour as a painter.

Father submitted an Income and Expense Declaration on June 18, 2026, and submitted work calendars reporting income of $1,920 for April 2026, $1,740 for May, and $1,600 for June. Father’s reported earnings reflect $1,753 average per month in self-employment income. Father reports that he does not file taxes and that his sister loans him money on the months he can’t meet his expenses.

The parties agree that the children are with Father every weekend from Friday after school until Monday drop-off at school. 3 / 7 = 43%.

The following monthly inputs were used in the xSpouse calculation: Father: $1,753 in self-employment income 43% monthly time share
