[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]enjoy sending large portion's of your family's income to the other woman and child each month. meanwhile, keep financially subsidizing the father of your children. [/quote]

OP said she's the breadwinner and earns significantly more than her husband.  The CS will be based on his income alone and the child is almost out of daycare so the mandatory support amount won't be all that high.  [/quote]

What a ridiculous post.

You think just because the baby isn't in daycare anymore that his payment will change/become less?
Don't be ridiculous.

I guess the kid should stop eating, which will cause them to stop growing, so I guess no need for food OR new clothes since she'll stop outgrowing them every year. 
I guess that means that dear old dad won't have to pay for extra curricular activities anymore, such as dance, soccer or art classes, because if she's not eating & not growing, she certainly won't have the energy to have fun.
Then there's that pesky little hindrance of medical insurance, BUT since there will be no food, no clothes, no energy for fun, she definitely won't need a doctor in case she gets sick or anything.

NEWS FLASH PP:  Kids don't magically start shrinking or become less expensive to take care of after day care.
In fact, they start GROWING & becoming even more expensive.  This means that everything grows along with them, their appetites, their clothing, their energy levels & yes, even trips to the doctor!

Where ever would you get such a ridiculous notion, especially in Montgomery County?[/quote]

PP here.  I get my "ridiculous notion" from §12–204 of the Maryland Code, otherwise known as the child support guidelines.  I also get this "ridiculous notion" because of my experience as an attorney.

Child support is based on an income shares formula developed by the state to cover basic needs (food, clothing, shelter and activities) with an extra amount added on to cover the costs of insurance and daycare (see subparagraph (g)(1) of the code).  With full time daycare costs ranging from $1,500 to $2,000 per month around here his required payment will decrease substantially once the kid is out of daycare.  There will still be aftercare and summer care costs but these are much less than full time daycare. [/quote]
