As far as I know what one makes does not effect what the other pays for child support.
So if a woman has full custody and makes 1million a year and her ex makes 100000 a year he still has to pay his regular payments. Will he pay more if she lost her job and had nothing? No he still pay his share.
IF this is true, it reveals a deeply flawed, mother-biased child support system. Child support calculations absolutely SHOULD factor in the incomes of each parent. If she makes 10 times more than he does, his support payments should reflect that. If, in your situation, she has full custody, he shouldn't have to pay a dime.
So you don’t think both parents should pay for things a kid needs JUST because one makes more than the other.
Both parents should pay it takes 2 to make a kid and if he made more I still think she should pay.
The money isn’t to pay the one with more custody it is to pay for things the kid needs and wants.
It goes off the persons income.
A percentage of it goes to the kid.
It’s not like she waiting around in her mansion going we’re is my baby daddy’s 500 dollar check.
If he files for shared custody he could get where he doesn’t pay child support or a less percentage.
it's a really flawed system that does favour the mother more than the father. So much so that one of the biggest advocates works for the child support agency in Australia cause they see first hand exactly how unfair it is.
Trust me it is truly a flawed system.
But truth is sometimes it is right.
But cases I saw that were wrong:
My friend from childhood’s first husband took her to court for custody of their son.
Because he had a lawyer and she didn’t she didn’t a chance to say a word and the lawyer FLAT OUT LIED! And the ex won custody.
My brother wanted to leave his abusive baby mama.
She said FINE than I am taking our daughter and moving to Arizona and I will win full custody and you pay ME because EVERY court awards the kid to the mom.
And due to this my brother to this day lives with her for fear of never getting to see his kid.
It’s a flawed system BUT it’s better than what it could be where people have kids and have no punishment for leaving them.
Child support is calculated on income. They literally take the income from both households and add it together. Then they calculate the expenses expected for the child based on a household with that combined income so that the quality of life does not shift from house a to house b. They look at expected contributions from households based on time spent at each and the income level. That is how they calculate support. Using me as an example, my child has 50/50 split time now so our expenses are expected to be equal in supporting her. While I was in school getting my PhD, I was an adjunct professor with a small stipend to teach. I received more support then than I get now making much more. Now that my ex and I have nearly equivalent incomes (he makes about 1k more than I do), my support is around $50/month.
What kind of heartless c*nt looks at her earnings (regardless of the source) and says, "That's MY money for ME" when she has partial or total custody of a child? Reprehensible.
