Australia is pretty ****ing great fwiw.

Night, and thanks for the effort regardless

I hope Franco doesn't read these last few pages him and his alien are gonna lose their ****.

So many ****ing words

That was the best good night I've ever gotten.

confirmed

nobody's perfect

should need ever factor into the equation? let's say the wife makes... idk... a million a year and the husb makes 100k. is child support really needed at this point? Is taking $1200 a month from him "for the children" when she takes home 40k a month and he brings home 4?

asking for a friend

Isn't that the recipe for making a Korean?

Checked with the boys over at the forensics lab.
Today is Monday (99.94% positive).
Monday just keeps happening.
It's not the media's fault.
All the protests won't likely change anything. Sure, we could change the name, but the effect would be the same...Monday.
F Monday (100.00%).

Bump

in australia for sure both incomes are concidered as is % of care

and here was me thinking it was your fault

now you tell my friend...

Solid question. Yes, it should be a consideration.
Also, the persistent assumption in this thread so far is that mom gets the kid. I know several cases where dad is custodial and mom pays support.

The **** is up with these new ads? It makes me want to take ..... measures .....

The one main problem with child support in Nevada is custodial time isn't considered beyond one line of demarcation.

If you have the kid like 40% of the time or more, it's joint physical custody & both incomes are equally factored.

If you have the kid less than 40% of the time the other person has primary & only your income is factored.

That means you pay the same in child support if you see you kid like 2.5 days per week & if you never see your kid.

It also leads to all kinds of stupid fights on the margin because it can make a huge economic swing.

If it was based on time % & not just an arbitrary line, a lot more people who were never really the primary parent would be satisfied with 2 days per week.

Also, Madden is the primary video game I've played for like 25 years. Had to stop when had 2nd kid tho...0 time.

35% here I believe but I'd have to confirm that

I believe recently its changed to also a category between 15-35% but I don't think it varies it that greatly but again im not 100% sure. I believe that more comes down to what you are categorized as and as such has little effect on payments.

Edit: Regular care is defined as 15-34% and shared as 35% and apparently both affect payment rates

I thought it was my browser messing up............

Ad Blocker also does nothing quite obv

I don't see the adds

Because the site makes money from ads you're not really supposed to mention AB on here which is why it's in the filter - that's why I said measures ....

100% confirmed. LonelyBox is the reason I didn't want to get up at 4:30am and sex.

Basrard!


I like this question.
I think people intertwine the custodial parent's needs/wants/lifestyles with child support too quickly.
It doesn't matter what she does: it matters that he contributes his fair share.

The only two considerations once you pass the poverty
line should be, what do I earn, and what is a fair share of that to contribute to my children. I think.

So many pics required.

You were already up and woke me up, I can't think of any other valid reasons you would wake me up at 4:30 am.

I like a "Primary parent or not" line best. It isn't as though mortgage/rent, the cost of heating or cooling, insurance, full time daycare spot, etc. goes down because the child is eating ....$10 worth of food... at the other parents house an extra day/week.

The cost of child's physical attendance at one home is probably one of the least expensive things on the list...especially if primary parent is packing a bag for them.

Lol. I see your point, but...

1. I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep
2. You were definitely already awake
3. Maybe I'm crazy, but... "The kid is sick", "the house is on fire", "there's a bear/wolf/coyote in the yard" all feel like valid reasons too.

I feel like you have one specific image of how every relationship is & use this one archetype to inform your opinions on all of these matters...

If someone has kids 2 days a week they need to make sure they have housing that includes a bedroom for that kid, they need toys, furniture, amenities, food, etc. If someone has 0 custody, then they don't need any of that stuff, but they would pay the exact same amount, when really they should be paying more because they are pulling none of the weight & bearing none of the financial burden of taking care of a child.

Insurance is almost always split 50/50 (one party insures the child, the other one pays for half the premium, this is offset against the child support either up or down), & the heating, cooling, mortgage/rent things are borne by both sides when each parent is involved in the kid's life. Whether a parent has a kid 40% of the time or 35% of the time, virtually none of that changes, but the amount of child support changes a ton.

Different judges do different things with daycare in terms of who pays for what, but that's an issue that goes away fairly young in life relative to the 18 to 19 years child support can last.

Let's take the super rich primary parent example.

Parent A makes $10m per year & has the kid 5 days per week.
Parent B makes $50k per year & has the kid 2 days per week.

In Nevada, Parent B would pay Parent A $681 per month (18% per month, but capped based on earnings range), when Parent A has literally no need for the money, & the amount of money Parent B can afford to spend on the kid & provide a great living environment for that child just got significantly cut.

If Parent B gets that extra day & has the kid 3 days per week (the actual change can be far smaller...from like 2.5 days to 2.8 days), then Parent B would receive $1,091 per month (the difference between monthly incomes, times 18% & capped per child...the caps in Nevada are kind of interesting, but a whole nother topic).

Nothing practically would change with anything...either way both parents have joint legal custody & power to make decisions, but the extra few hours makes a huge economic change, which is why so many people fight on the margins.

House is on fire is the only one I'd consider waking my wife up at 4:30 for.

I just started seeing them now too.

1. Man is that obnoxious...threads are taking longer to load on my phone.
2. You weren't talking about measuring the way I hoped. Unless you are also seeing nothing but ads for.designers...and that made you feel like less of man?
