[quote=Anonymous][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]

He could do that.  But, who knows what Mom's motives are at that point.  More than likely he'll pay child support, health care, clothing and all activities so all she will have is housing costs and food.[/quote]
