Why raze the dude over it? I've seen plenty of guys screwed over. Doesn't mean he doesn't want to support his kid. Jeez....

Get a good lawyer and just accept family court is a giant scam. Good luck.

I was just referencing some of my friends and what happened in their divorces. If parents are making the same amount of money and sharing custody then why should child support be given to either one? I agree if one parent is making lots more money then child support shouldn't be given or there is a primary parent. You make some good points. My Friends kids who split weeks seem to be well adjusted teenagers. Maybe, it's not for every family situation. I'm sure there are all type of different scenarios that happen when it comes to divorce court and child support. Again I was just referencing what I knew of some of my friends divorces. |

Congrats on becoming a Dad. It’s a good gig. I could see situations where split weeks work but both parents have to be in the school district and it has to be easy to travel back and forth. Re: costs... whichever parent is footing the bill for healthcare should get support from the spouse for that (or, if parent paying child support is providing insurance, credit for it). If it is truly amicable costs could be split up evenly otherwise. That’s tough to maintain, though. My main thing is saying a primary custody parent absolutely deserves CS. I can’t imagine being a single parent amidst all this year. Costs are crazy ... no child care during the day. |
If in MO they will determine support based on both of your incomes and time spent with child. There's a formula involved so you can't really get "screwed". Now if you have a good income, she doesn't work, and you only get the kid on weekends you're probably not going to be happy with the amount.
Your best bet is to get a family attorney and fight for at least joint custody where the kids spend equal time with you as mom. Hopefully time with your kids is just as important to you as not getting screwed on child support. |

Yeah, I'm sure there are lots of parents who don't get CS. My older brother's ex up and left when the baby was 2. He never received a dime in child support from her. If the OP is the breadwinner then he is going to pay support. Best that he gets his children an equal amount of time. |

I'm just glad my dad fought like hell to get custody and wasn't just a sperm donor. It's disheartening to think about the trauma divorce inflicted on me as a kid to only see it be reduced to dollars and cents for the adults. Take care of your kids dudes.

Money is not relevant. The welfare of the child(ren) is. You will be speaking with this woman for at least till those children are 18yrs of age. Make the most of it. Judging from the OP he is looking for a pissing match not realizing that the court determines the amount of child support due, not the mother.

I have had friends fight that formula and win. just remember she has to pay her lawyer so she either has $$$ or give great head in able to get decent representation. My ex had to borrow against her retirement to pay $16K to get divorced from me. She never gave great head.
No woman deserves to live in luxury when the breadwinner makes big bucks. It's like the ex wife is asking for money to get the GED she never found a way to obtain. She can live in a low maintenance, nice place without a 3 car garage, tennis court, and a pool. My divorce atty contact does nothing but financial planning working with both parties to settle rich peoples divorces with both parties loosing as little to taxes and penalties as possible.But I bet he knows every atty worth their salt in a Jo Co Divorce. Their objection was that the kids do not have to live in a $1M house to go to the same school and have the same friends. He wanted to support his children, not his ex wife. Quote:
