I live in Georgia and my ex also lives in Georgia. He's paying child support to me for our 6-month-old, and he's also paying for a 10-year-old in New York. Why is the New York child receiving more support than my child? Is it because of the child's age or because she lives in New York? Also, does he have to pay back child support for his child in New York? Georgia doesn't require back child support payments, and he's a resident here.

My daughter accidentally spilled a drink on someone else's computer. She cleaned it up and advised not to turn it on until it was dry, but the owner turned it on anyway and it stopped working. The owner's mother is taking my daughter to small claims court, demanding $350 towards a new computer. What are my daughter's chances in small claims court, and can we file harassment charges if the mother continues to leave nasty messages?
