Half isnt feasible because I have extra probation expenses that I'm trying to have paid off in full by tax time---->got 2 years probation in July and I have three different payments...
But here's the thing, 1)we have a daycare expense that's $1645/month that we dont need, we both have family here, she from here and has a ton of family, and we have flexibility to adjust our work schedules. She not going for it and one of my main counters will be she's asking me to pay for an unneeded expense...
2)she asking for half of shyt she cant even afford, she took a pay cut with the pandemic as well as reduced hours, she cant afford the shyt and while I don't know for sure it would work in my favor, I feel like I could prove she living beyond her means and asking me to pick up the excess. @ArtaXerXes @Yagirlcheatinonus could this counter work in my favor?
I definitely want shared and I am kissing major ass with her right now...
Yeah I only get the girls two weekends a month since May, after initially not seeing them for 45 days, then she got Covid and gave it to them so until two weeks ago I went another 26 days without seeing them...
She's been slightly flexible in letting me see them when it benefits her, like I normally get them every other F-Su, but she bringing them in the morning so she can work overtime this week...
This domestic case hanging over my head and she leaning on it hard, I basically was convicyed because of priors, because she exaggerated like a muhfukka but I couldn't get it off me and I spent money to get the deal I got. But she leaning on it and that won't help me in court because her story is she traumatized and that qnd my prior aint a good look...
But I know she putting extras and using that to limit my time with the girls, she wants this same setup when the order expires in May...
Nah I'm finna up it, since making this thread I've reconsidered that....
What are you on probation for?
Edit: You on probation for domestic violence against her and think you’re going to get full custody?
60 percent of your income in CS is outlandish, but 11% ain’t nothing either for 2 kids. You can’t really say she’s living above her means when you’re low balling her either way.
@murksiderock couple questions with the day care .
How old ya kid n how long they been going ? I could kinda see her angle if your kid has gotten attached to the workers & other kids . Also does she not trust your fam or even her own fam to watch your kid ?
Also how reliable would family be to watch her every time when needed ? They gone do it for free or cheaper than day care ? If yes to all then def need to make that switch .
I will say at day care they do be teaching kids basics to help progress they growth . Will y’all fam be willing to do that or just let em be on electronics all day .
How much are you paying in child support monthly (dollar amount)? What’s the back story on the domestic violence case? Have you spoken to the probation officer/judge about shortening your probation period?
Move out the country, start over, and send her what you can for the kids
Im not saying to lie about your expenses but most people that are trying to get child support aren't telling the courts the full story..
How much do you make? There is no way two kids costs you 60% of your income. Especially with North Carolina you need to put them on your health insurance and also get to claim them on your taxes about half of the time
Yep. I saw a video by coach Greg Adams on YouTube where he outlined that being self-employed saved his ass when it came to child support.Start a business, so you can control your salary and move money around.

Because they couldn't really pinpoint exactly how much money he earned. So they couldn't really clean him out on child support.
But seeing some of these numbers dudes pay like 1,500 or 2,000 a month in child support. That's like a house payment. So unless you making 6 figures how the hell do you afford that?
Not enough, that's for sure lol...
The child support calculator is rigged but I went over with my attorney and did it on my own and the shyt aligned, and the numbers my kids mom spit out aligns. Its some BS but thats really what it says based on her being the custodial parent and having them on her insurance...
I just started working again last month so I have to wait for open enrollment but I'm def jumping on it...
As the noncustodial parent I won't be able to claim either of them, but if i ever get a successful shared custody that will change...
