Then CS should be cancelled out if it is truly 50% of the time. :shrug:Cowgirl said:

You do know that there is such a thing as "voluntary impoverishment" and the judge/master will look at why you aren't working or why you aren't making the same amount of money. While the forumula for determining child support stays constant, the amount of income they use can change, but if the judge/master determines you can make more money, and if the reason you aren't is through a fault of your own, you may not get much sympathy from the court.

Maybe a shared custody?:shrug: Even with shared custody someone's going to pay.

Technically, even if the parents have split custody, the parent who earns more could be ordered to pay the other parent CS.sockgirl77 said:

As we all know it is the responsibility of both parents to care/provide for their children. The system sucks and it never is a win-win situation.
At the cost of what Doug is paying, his children must be very young and in daycare full time, that's the only thing that makes sense for this outrageous amount.
I have full custody of my frick & frack. Father was originally ordered to pay $1100/month back in 1998 when he had a very decent job and I was working a mediocre job. He quit his very decent job and dodged the system on and off for years racking up what is now $25,000 in arrears. All that time I and only I supported those children ~ at times working three jobs and advancing my knowledge to get the type of position I am in now. But still we are living paycheck to paycheck. I own no home, I have very little savings, and college fund, heh, what college fund.
The father walked away from his kids three years ago and hasn't had contact since. Finally apprehended after two and a half years working with the courts and BOSE and served 9 months in jail. Now he is finally working, at no where near what he was making at that very decent job in 1997, he is still ordered to pay the $1100/mth. Do I think that is fair to him, no I do not...but he is too stupid to file for the modification. Nonetheless he will always be responsible for the arrears, which continues to build weekly. I'm just thankful for whatever I get when I can get it. See bottom line is, there is only one person I can count on to take care of my kids, financially, emotionally, and every other "ally" you can say....and that is ME!
As stated, there are so many different sides to the story.

Which could easily explain why dougster is ordered to pay the $1400/month. If his income were $6000 6 months ago and it is only $2000K now, he has shown the ability to earn more. If CS was filed before his loss of employment, they could be going on that.cattitude said:

Ok try to concentrate....my boyfriend has 2 kids by the same woman. The son is 3 yrs old. He has had split custody of the son since they broke up. They also have a daughter together. She is 16 months. My bf's ex cheated on him...she had just gotten pregnant when they split up. She said the baby was the other man's. All of the sudden out of the blue, when the daughter is 12 months old, the ex says she wants a paternity test because she thinks the baby was really my bf's...because her current boyfriend was getting ready to leave her, and he demanded a paternity test. Lo and behold, it was my bf's baby, so he has to pay for 3 months of child support while he and the baby have an "introduction period." SO...due to her f*ck up, he has to pay child support Had he known from the beginning that the daughter was his, he would've gotten 50/50 custody and not had to pay any child support and wouldn't have missed the first 15 months of his daughter's life. It took 4 months to finally get visitation with the daughter, because the ex is an evil biatch. So they go to court, work out the 3 month intro period. Two weeks later, ex calls boyfriend and says she is getting a second job...and she wants to cut the intro period in half. But...she doesn't want to cut the cs in half....because she is just a money grubbing biotch. SO, bf agrees to pay her the full amount because by the time he paid for the lawyer to go back to court, he'd spend more than he'd save. So that is how he got screwed.
I was trying to avoid going into that whole long story..but since you weren't satisfied with any of the previous answers, you got it. Do you understand everything now?
