[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it’s logical and I’m the idiot. A friend’s plan:

Husband makes more than wife. They are divorcing, two kids. He’s in the process of changing jobs. He will be taking a hefty pay cut, his reasoning for doing this is so he won’t have to pay as much in child support.

To me, this seems stupid and like the real loser in this is, not only his kids, but himself!

If he makes $200 and gives her 25%, he now has $150 for himself.

But if he’s making $100 and gives her say, only 5%, he now has only $95 for himself.

If it’s logical and I’m wrong, can anyone explain?

He won't be allowed to get away with it. The judge will look at the earning POTENTIAL and see that he took a lower-paying job. The support will be set at the higher salary.

This is just like when a judge will order a SAH parent back to work and assign an earning potential and base the child support formula on that.

Beware the legal fees fighting over what the potential is.[/quote]
