[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not agree to 50/50.  I knew my ex well.  I used child support to negotiate. I agreed to dramatically less child support in exchange for primary physical custody. He had every other week end and four week over the summer.  [/quote]

This won’t work here. I make more money. I actually think this is part of why he wants 50/50 custody. I have to pay him child support no matter what our custody arrangements are. [/quote]
That is alimony.  Child support uses nights at each parent and other expenses to calculate.[/quote]

OP here. No, I make enough more than him that unless I have the kids almost full time I will still owe him some form of child support. We both waived the right to alimony. But I do think that he’s looking at the fact that I will pay him $50 a month if he has 40% custody and $500 a month if he has 50% custody and he’s using that to fuel his argument for 50% custody.

I still am not sure how he’s going to make this all work with work- he’s just going to tell them that he’s coming in and hour later ever other week since he has his kids and they’ll be okay with it? For years I asked him to have some flexibility with timing of this type of thing and he told me no “At 7:30 I’m the last one to the office.” And now all the sudden he says he can just come and go as needed? How long does this grace from work last?[/quote]

You should want to pay him child support as they are your kids and it is expected that they keep the same standard of living as they had prior to the divorce. $50/month is a pittance.[/quote]
