Custody Issues / Re: child support
Jun 04, 2009, 12:49:44 PM
If Support is court ordered the only way to change that is to request a modification.  Some States do calculate child supports awards based upon the amount of time each parent has the child.  You would have to check with your own state to see if that would apply.

However as a commentary it is the award of child support that makes most parents crazy.  It costs the non custodial parent that has an split parenting agreement the same amount that it cost the custodial parent to feed, cloth and support the child.

The idea that one parent should have to support the other parent's life so that the child can live in the same standard at both houses is both out dated and not reasonable... The parent paying the support actuallly has to earn the income and then pay taxes on the amount paid.

There is less stress and strife for the child(ren) when they know that both of their parents are supporting them.  (When with me I pay when with dad he'lll pay, we will split extras such as instruments and sport eqipment and fees.)
