General Question

The issue with that is that his job requires him to go in ridiculously early which would create an issue for child care, but even assuming he takes that route, would her portion be zero since its now a 100/0 split for income? Basically will her now zero income be a factor or would they use her current income seeing as her assault on him was the reason for the job loss or do they only look at numbers?

Whatever happened to the days of a man just taking a punch like a man instead of whining like a puppy to the police? All it is, is just who get can 'one up' on the other.

And this isn't just specific to ex's not getting along.

OP, it very well may work out like that. If she loses her job, she can at least ask for a modification of child support. That's no guarantee a judge would grant it, but it's a possibility. Imo, it's in his best interest to ensure she keeps her job for his kids sake, unless she is regularly violent and then he should put a stop to it and gain custody regardless of childcare issues.

He should just take the punch like a man, why add fuel to the fire with a child in the middle. His ego got hurt because a lady punched him, get over it.

I disagree.

I know a couple that split. After they split, she quit her job thinking she was going to be getting more child support if she didn't work. The judge took into consideration her "ability" to earn X amount of $ per her history. Child support was granted based on her "potential" earnings. You can't expect to get more money because you quit your job or get fired because of your own doing.

Why did she punch him?

That's a real question. If she just up and slugged him out of the blue, then he really needs to get custody of those kids. If he started in on her, which led to a fight, which led to her punching him in the face, then he should take his lumps and get over it.

I'm aware of that, and that's why I said it's a possibility and not a given. Stupid woman for quitting her job; that's what she gets for being a lazy-azz.
 
I think he should ask his lawyer :yay:

Also, I don't agree with those saying he should take the punch like a man. I mean, if he'd hit her would she just take the punch like a woman? No. It's not okay for a woman to hit a man either. Sure, it sucks to have the child in the middle but letting this kind of behavior happen only shows the child that it's acceptable behavior. What a crappy situation to be in.

Bull####. I thought women wanted equal respect to men? Then take equal responsibility.

If I hit someone (doesn't matter if it's a man or woman), I can, and probably will, suffer negative consequences for it. And it should be the same for a woman. If you aren't responsible for your own actions, then you shouldn't enjoy the same freedoms and benefits as those of us who do.

Please do not misunderstand. If she started the crap and he punched her, I would say the same thing.

I was raised, 'you DO NOT hit women'; whether they deserve it or not.
I once dated a girl, when I was in high school who made me SO mad at her one time, I just had to grit my teeth and walk away.
OTOH, if a woman I happened to be in a relationship with hit me, I would at least retaliate with a firm shove.....by the throat.

without going into detail at all, he was in no way the aggressor. She grabbed his phone from him, saw something she didnt like, threw it on the ground, stomped it and punched him with daughter in hand. He is more pissed about the child than anything.

But yes, he has been in contact with his attorney. I was just wondering which side people fell on that fence.

A womans punch can't hurt all that much unless she weighs about 230+ pds. What lady in here thinks they can throw a mean punch, come on over. Bottom line is the dude is just being a wussy about the situation.

So it's okay to punch someone, the mother/father of your child...while the child is there no less, if he/she starts crap? Ummmm WRONG

I was raised that you DO NOT HIT...............first, but by all means you DO defend yourself

That is noble of him but I'd have been pissed about the phone grabbing and she wouldn't have gotten to the actually looking at it part. She then could escalate as she saw fit.
