[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the child support calculator amount is lower than what you are currently receiving then you are getting more than an appropriate amount. Your income split is about 2/3 and 1/3 so you should be contributing approximately $600 to the support of the children on top of his $1,300. Are you telling me you can't raise two kids on $2K net per month? Which one of you pays for the health insurance?[/quote] The lower earning spouse pays health insurance. Also, the higher earning spouse does not have their own place, so when they “have” the kids they are actually staying at lower earning spouse’s house and “helping”. Is the fact that the lower earning spouse is doing almost all the work, using their sick leave to take kids to appointments etc, to actually raise the kid not worth anything? [/quote] Your CS is most likely calculated using the sole custody formula to reflect the higher costs of feeding and housing the child. [/quote]
