[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the mom is SAHM and dad has demanding job, dad may have less time out of necessity particularly if a lot of work travel. [/quote]

Mom is not SAHM. Job is not particularly demanding but hours are longer than moms.

So a dad can get penalized in terms of custody for being the main provider? Would a dad with a more kid-friendly schedule get more custody than a mom who would gone from 7:30- 6 b/c of commute and work? Oldest can drive fwiw.[/quote]

Mom will probably claim some kind of abuse or neglect but if he is the high earner and she is a teacher/works at a school, the issue is money.  If he is not working, she will probably not get alimony so she will need the child support to maintain her lifestyle/house.  So, she needs to have the kids overnight as the child support is calculated based on where the kids sleep overnight.  So, huge difference in her having full custody/Dad 4 nights a month vs. 50/50.[/quote]

What if Dad offers more support than the calculation calls for? [/quote]
