in the state that has jurisdiction over our case, just recently, the judge calculated support.
Then my EX said "I have two other dependents"
And the judge recalculated support and said "That makes an $8.** difference." -- point is that it was so small....
While I wanted to complain because my CS was going UP thanks to EX's additional children after our divorce in which I had no say -- I would be complaining about a small amount -- and the fundamental philosophy would be lost in numbers.
Same on the flip side, my additional children wouldmake my CS for the NC/Child go down.....by a small amount.
Income of the new spouse -- be very very careful. NV used my income to calculate Spouse/NCP's obligation for MY STEP-CHILDREN. Yep, 50% of my income was considered a spousal asset. AND NOPE, the fact that I had 3 other children to support was not factored in. Good news? CP's spouses' income was also used and so that definitely balanced things out since EX/CP was underemployed on purpose in order to try and collect more CS.
Hope you followed all that.
