Attorney recommendations in KC area? Ex trying to bend me over for child support
 

Any help would be much appreciated.

did you ever have a dna test done to confirm the child is yours?

Sounds like a great time to quit your job and start a career at Burger King.

The thought crossed my mind. Not going to lie.

Pics of ex wife?

dna could set you free

What was your BAC?

I bet he got hosed on the pregnancy

This girl live close to you?

All I can say is good luck. I don’t have any recommendations, but get a good one listen to him/her and don’t ever talk to her again. Even if you want to scream in her face.

This month is like Prime Day for attorneys!

If it is your kid, man up and support your child.

This.

Yeah just pay the 30k a month your child needs to live

I'd start with the group Norton Hare. Number is (913)906-9633

Support your kids. It's job ****ing one.

Obviously the law offices of Kordell and Kordell.

Really Patrick?

You know what they say...Momma's Baby, Daddy's maybe, only a mother knows it hers! :D

Clyde, Edwards & Helaire

Can confirm.

I think the court systems are more fair then they were in the past. IF mom works and makes similar money as the father then child support is not needed. Custody should be split weekly as well.

From what I've seen recently the days of mother getting everything is in the past. At least from what I witnessed a few friends going through a divorce with kids.

I believe the best rule is to set all your emotions aside during this process.

She got the gold mine, I got the shaft

Hope your right. I think it’s ridiculous when someone has to pay like 10k a month in child support just because they have a lot of money. We know it’s mom spending that shit

Why is that ridiculous?

great song

My divorce was around 27 years ago and it was in the State of Calif. At the time there was a formula. How much each parent earned and how much time was spent with the child. They then calculated child support off those parameters.

Pay your child support you dick.

Do you have kids? This reads like you don't.

Why should either parent with primary custody (mother or father) bear all the costs of raising the child just because they're equivalent in earnings to their former spouse?

Raising kids is EFFING EXPENSIVE. If you're a single parent who works, kids are in daycare until they're in school and then you have after care and all the other endless streams of things that cost major bucks (health insurance, activities, clothes, food).

Equal custody is also something that just doesn't make a lot of sense for the CHILDREN. Living in a different house full-time each week is detrimental to daily schedules (including sleep schedules) and it could interrupt school attendance.

You watch. Brittnany gonna take him for 251 mill.

I assure you that this deadbeat won't be paying $10K/month. If he had an income that warranted $10K/month, he would already have a lawyer to help with other fiscal legal issues and wouldn't be on here asking about a lawyer. He's in OP, and in KS child support is calculated at roughly 16% of gross income so he would be making ~$750K/year. Anyone making $750K/year and bitching about child support in the $10K/month range shouldn't be a father in the first place.

end of thread... Right on FE

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 just had my first child. I waited til I was older and married Unlike some of my friends that I mentioned.

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.

Hey Thanks.

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 doubt that’s true. I’m not a divorce lawyer but all these arrangements are decided by a formula. Therefore nobody really gets “screwed over” unless you feel the formulas themselves are unfair.

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.

Most of the time equal custody isn't possible or if it is its not what is best for the kids. Kids need to have structure and spending every other week at a different home is just not very good for kids. That's not even taking school into the equation. Equal time is impossible if you're in the same town.

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.

The issue is the facts given to the court to make that decision are up for dispute. If she says that the most she can make is 20k a year running an in home day care, but she has a nursing degree, the court can impute her income as that of a nurse making it so he doesn't have to pay as much. This is the same reason him quitting his job and working at BK wouldn't do anything. They would just take his wage at the job he quit and set child support off that.

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.

Women get whatever they want. especially these days. I live in Lenexa and I pay 11k a month

You have to make a very good living then or have no custody. I make over 6 figures and pay $1100 with 50/50.

Sorry to hear this Bait - I'm glad you're around though - there were a few wondering where you'd been the other day. Good luck with this, bud.

Its way more common than you think. I lived a few blocks from my exwife, same school district same bus. They had their own rooms at her house and at mine, and would alternate days/weekends. They loved it, got double of everything and all turned out fine.

And neither one of us had to pay the other any support since we both made roughly the same and both raised them equally.

Maybe call Carole Baskins....

When I was growing up, I knew a girl whose parents were divorced, and they lived in different houses on the same cul de sac. I don't remember if they were next door, but there was one house between them at most. She'd just get off the school bus and wander into either house.

You've been officially Penzed. That dude doesn't make $11,000 gross in a month.

FYP

That's pretty great.

you make $1,000,000 plus and pay $1100?
Give the dude your attorneys name.

As long you don’t give him your calculator he might be alright.

Wut

And then, that feel good movie ended.

Ps: courts have 0 emotion, they go off factual information and there is already a formula in place. It’s depends on income / debt / assets of both of you and amount of children.

She won’t bend you backwards on time with the kid nor money you owe because what she says doesn’t matter.

He said he makes over 6 figures. ($999,999.00). Pays $1100 for support.
Maybe it is $9999.99 (never seen 6 figures "figured" that way) which would make the $1100 more realistic.

Wut?

six figures is $100,000 or more, hence 6 digits.

What if the kid looks like Kelce??

New math they teaching these days Lewdog.

then Mahomes should toss in $10M extra

lol
