[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm a divorced father with a vindictive ex who tried a scorched earth approach during a custody modification. She was caught lying in court and submitting a false affidavit and even admitted on the sand to it lying.  There was evidence the judge stated showed she had violated the custody agreement. The judge even stated that she had misused child support funds in violation of a previous court order.

The judge however openly stated that he was NOT going to issue any finding or judgements against the ex wife for lying to the court, violating the custody order, or miss using child support funds. Bottom line is that judges do not want to be seen punishing women. Further, there is an underlying prejudice that women are better parents although that is untrue. They say that the tender years doctrine is no longer informing the courts but that is simply not true.

As for the child support, I'm sure it is based on a formula according to the approximate 75%/25% parenting time split resulting from the court's order that you only get to see your child every other weekend (I.e., 1,3, 5th weekends). The bottom line is that court has turned children into a commodity.

[b]Her income is irrelevant to the calculation of what the non-custodial parent pays in child support. [/b]In effect you are paying your ex wife to babysit your child for the 25% difference between the 50/50 split you want and the 25% you got.

The real kicker is that given your ex's level of hate towards you she will 100% work toward alienating your child from you.[/quote]

[b]This is completely wrong.  It is so completely wrong it is probably the stupidest thing I've read on this forum in awhile and there is some grossly inaccurate information on this forum[/b].[/quote]

Maybe it depends on the state because in Texas they absolutely do not care about BOTH parents incomes... see the calculator: https://csapps.oag.texas.gov/monthly-child-support-calculator

Notice there is only one input for income and it is for the non-custodial parent not the custodial parent.[/quote]

So I just looked it up and some states do in fact ONLY care about the obligators income. I think your statement above about the posters comment being stupid is snarky. It is true that some states (see the list) don't care at all about the custodial parents income.
