[quote=Anonymous]Hello, my ex and I are already newly divorced in the past year. I am the mom. We are in MD. We already have had au pair with us. We had to share cost up till now, but Moving forward in a few months we start 50-50 vs me having them 80 of time. I am not sure what to expect for child support related work related childcare. He makes slightly more than I do. I work at a demanding job where I cannot often, not always,  can NOT take my phone in or be contacted for parts of a day akin to doctors in surgery or a firefighter. So for me having an au pair is important during my time to allow for an extension of myself to be contacted. My ex works from home most days. He thinks he will use before and after care, but most likely he will have to pay the whole week cost. We earn enough to beyond the high income scale in Maryland for child support, but not enough around the DC area to live very well independently lol. Anyways, looking for someone that has been there done that and used au pair of all there X did not? If so, how was the child care calculated? 
I know some adverse opinions (my ex) don’t want to use the entire amount of cost related to an au pair because they say they do more than childcare like help me with the kids, laundry, and/or argue that I should have to pay all of mine, and he have to pay all of his. But my Au Pair will be more money than his before and after care. And the nature of my job requires me to be on call for a longer amount of time without contact ability. We make about the same amount of income. The kids are on my insurance. There is nothing in our divorce decree requiring him right of first refusal.[/quote]
