So you think that if I ask for a review in 2007 they will apply the new calculation?

Also, how will they deal with the underemployed mother?

For example my ex has a master degree and she works as a volunteer and get less than 500$ a pay check, ....
the new calculation talks about underemployed but not in detailss

Hi,
Does anyone know how the new CS laws calculation will be applied?


The state says that even though the law is in effect jan 2007 they will not be ready to "start" doing revision of calculation until january 2008.
unless special cases

So what good is a law if it is not applied until whenever?
what are these special cases?

Hello,
I went to the court house to ask today and what I need really is a "stipulation"
Basicaly we both write that we are in an agreement and simply ask to terminate obligation on such date, ... both sign and the legal help center put it through for us.

pretty simple

Hi Everyone,

My ex and I have been good parents for over a year now, communicating and helping each other.

It's at the point where we decided to put differences asside and really working for our kid together.

we agreed that our son could go to the schools in my school district, schools are better than in hers and we'd drive back and forth.

We agree on time with our son and simply share time, call each other to take care of our son when needed. My ex has realized that out of court and fight, we can work together.
and we actually work great.


We are also aware of the CS law changing in 2007-2008 and have agreed that starting january 2007 we would simply not pay any CS to each other.
Now here is where I come for help.

We would like to draw an order and present it jointly with a joint motion so that we can stop the collection from the CS office so I am looking for a sample order. Something I can use to build the proposed motion and order.

We do not want to change custody nor other stuff, simply:
"both parents are taking care equaly of their children together and neither parties shall pay CS to the other and CS office shall stop any and all witholdings on date, ...."

any help ?

Hello,
Well my ex finally came down and stopped sueing me.
it has been a year now without a problem. She actually agreed that our son could go to schools in my school district (edina, good schools).

Life is so much better, I'd even say we are friends again.

Ever since my ex moved in with her BF it's been nice :)

I am actually back here to look at what's going on and ask for help once again on child support stuff

to have it apply in 2007?

It is comming in Jan 2007 but applicable , .....

Anyone has some insight about this from the CS office beside the obvious 2-3 articles I already read?

Will it really be applied ?

This is a long storry and I am not sure where to start.

I am the dad of a little boy. My ex and I just finished mediation and agreed to change parenting time times, and this and that, the bottom line is I have every other week-ends and 1 night a week and a lot of extra time there and there, ... bottom line is I have my kid between 46% and 50%.

My ex and I have a really bad history but now we are communicating. Well she calls me to take my kid extra time.

there is an imersion school in my school district and I would like our child to go to it. This is important as My kid and I have dual citizenship and that school teaches our 2nd language, ... anyway, this is one really important piece for me.
My ex isn't opposed to it too much, her main concern is child support.

So here we are at the question, with the new child support laws, I have a good case to use the 50/50 time calculation.
Being that our kid is gona be in school next september, I am trying to find what to "sale" to my ex as far as school and child support, ...

Should I go for:
- I pay no child support and you neither to me but you let him go to that school and I pay all the fees ???
or maybe:
- let's just agree on the school, we'll see child support latter and we both share 50/50 of school expenses ???

any other ideas ?
My ex's concerns are money and not feeling like I screwed her over. Of course I could just agree on the school, get my kid in my school district and then get the CS agency to actually have her pay me CS but then she'd feel screwed, ....
What is important for me is
- that imersion school
- neither pay each other CS
- we share school expenses

however school expenses aren't that great and temporary (I am not talking about college, just kindergarten).

what do you all think ?
