I just had my divorce trial this Tuesday in Pierce County, WA state and I did fairly well with time with my 2 kids.
The judge gave me visitation every other weekend Thursday 6PM through Monday 9AM half the Christmas vacation and a month of summer vacation. I'm fairly happy, but I have a couple questions.
The basic child support order for my income comes to $2068, but the judge did not take into account my time spent with the children. By my calculations, using a software program designed specifically for this purpose, I have the kids 156 days to her 209 days. That's a 57% to 43% split.
I've been looking into this and I don't believe the judge legally has to take this into account, but I almost have them 45% of the time?
Do I have any chance of getting the judge to reconsider the CS amount because of the residential time I spend with them?
In any case, I'd love to see a sample "Motion for Consideration" that I could use for crafting my motion. I have just a few days to file it and I need to because my name is misspelled on one of the divorce degrees anyway.
I live in Washington State and this whole divorce experience has been an eye opener on the sorry state of our legal system.
