until the government changes the law as to who can claim the child as a dependent, this argument will be never ending. currently the custodial parent gets to claim the child dependent but doesn't claim the support payment as income, and the payer does not get to claim the payment as a deduction.

My brother was ordered to pay 3700 a month. It left him basically homeless three states away. He quit. Took a lower paying job in the state where his kids lived and she still refused to cooperate with an adjustment or more visitation. The bottom line she said to the judge to throw him in jail if he didn’t pay the 3700 and even the judge was like are you crazy he makes all the money and will not be able to pay you anything and she said she did not care. It was about revenge and not about the kids. I mean he did cheat and he was wrong but the entire divorce just damaged those kids and it was sad and ridiculous. He could not do 5059 due to travel so he needed to pay child support but it was completely insane to end up homeless.

child custody should NEVER go to one or the other based on income alone!! A detailed history and background needs to be done first and foremost. Secondly, child support needs to be a set amount no matter WHAT income either parent makes. Just like minimum wage there needs to be a formula to figure out the baseline for what is needed to support each child then non-custodial parent pays 50% of that. All extra expenses should be requested through FOC if parents cannot work together. In my case, my ex was a severe alcoholic and drug addiction, he made more money than me but no way in hell should he get custody!

The answer is simple, stop falling for the victimhood narratives and put an end to child support. Resort to 50/50 custody with each parent financing their own homes.

I have a hard time being on the mother’s side when it comes to the money debate. I feel both parents are responsible to take care of their kids. Her quality of life is no longer his concern. If she wants to keep up her quality of life she needs to go get a job that can support that life

I was told if I quit my job for a lower paying job, the court wouldn’t care and keep my child support at that set amount

Easy problem to solve. A: 50/50 custody no child support. B: the highest earning person gets primary custody

I think each parent should be able to afford their bills on their own child support should be used for things specific to the child/children their clothes, shoes, insurance, ect. it's not his responsibility to pay her bills.

Anyone that would purposely lower their income just to avoid child support doesnt actually care about their child. They're focused on the amount they have to pay, not what the actual costs of said child(ren) are.

yes unless you live in West Virginia and your child's father has multiple children your income is then taken and the normal amount of child Support is deducted and then that amount is split between however many children he chooses to have and I only know this because my son is his father's first child it didn't work out with us he went on to have two more baby mamas with multiple children each

I’m so glad you saw that video! I don’t understand why it always falls on the man to pay everything. I do think dad should help with the kids but there is no reason you need 3000 a month to “support” the children.

So he would rather earn 5k a month less so he doesn’t have to raise his kids. Who KNEW men would ever behave like this! Putting his own Children on the STREET

Having more money doesn’t warrant that they are the better parent a lot of good parents lose their kids because they don’t have thousands of dollars to fight for custody. More money doesn’t mean better parents.

Buggy_Bear :
I've seen several comments about 50/50 and there'd be no more support. There'd still be child support because support and visitation are separate in most if not all states. He was petty taking a pay cut just so he couldn't afford the same amount but there's probably layoffs and what not, possible. The other parent shouldn't have to go broke to cover support either though. Mom in this story could also make a life style change if she cannot afford her child on her own. I did

Alisa :
no judge is going to go for that he has a skill that can make a certain wage .... so therefore his child support is going to reflect the skills income not the McDonald's income

Mothers are the only ones who take care of a child 24/7. Men literally get to do whatever they want all the time.

Chelsea :
Always the mother. A man cannot replace what a mother can give a child and you'll never convince me otherwise. women except for rare circumstances should always have primary custody. I don't believe in 50/50. A father's role is extremely important but a child should always remain with their mother.

lori_pnw 🇺🇸🆘 :
Anyone who would intentionally sabotage their own ability to earn should not have primary custody. My ex-husband did this. It’s obvious and judges can spot it. My ex got roasted by the courts for it and never had a shot at primary custody.
