Beached Whale said:I wont be around for the remainder of the week but I am curious about something. If the child wants to live with you then why the need for all the drama and paperwork? Childsupport support guidelines are clear and nothing more than simple mathematical calculations. You live close enough to each other where relocation/distance shouldnt be an issue if that is a concern your ex has. (You dont have to answer me here if you dont want to.) Not interested in opening a can of nasty worms. I just honestly dont understand why the need for such a largely useless energy expenditure.
You have shared physical custody since you split and your ex is re-married so there should be no more alimoney involved. Unless there is a great disparity in income between you and your ex, the amount of child-support money shouldnt be so great as to warrant all the rigamarole.
I know the laws differ from state to state so maybe I am way offbase here.
Just thinking about the question does the amount of money that you will glean justify all of the energy you are putting into this, especially if the child is with you anyway?

biteme said:Yep. You think I enjoy this shit. It's still a fucking nightmare. I never paid her alimony, don't know where you came up with that. I'm nearly 800 in the hole every month. So yes, the 700 or so a month she will have to pay is sorely needed or i will run out of money and credit in less than a year. Does that answer your question?
Beached Whale said:$700.00 p/month for ONE child in your state? Damn, I was getting $143.00 for FOUR in the northeast... that number will be reduced to about $60.00 PER MONTH (if we are lucky), still waiting on a judge's decision.

I denied what I could have got from my X cause it was an insane amt. No way you are getting that for four kids.

I know you weren't questioning me per say and yes I agree - it is unbelievable but it is our reality nonetheless.Erzulie said:Thats horrible.. I don't need a stub, I am just in awe.

It's all good though. Character building experience for us all, I suppose.![]()
