What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
My ex-husband & I have 4 year old twin boys. He lost his job, & can't find another one that pays nearly as much. I dropped support so that he could survive until he found something else, he has found a part time job, 2 days a week. This has been the situation for 2 years now. His income is about $1200, mine is about $3000/month, net. I have the boys in daycare 3 days a week, which costs me $800/month. My other 2 work days, the boys are with their father, which saves me a few hundred $'s a month. We worked this deal out to keep both of our costs down while he looked for a better job & worked at his part time.
I am starting to become frustrated because he doesn't seem to be making an effort to find a job anymore, and I am struggling.
I used the child support formula, and I will get quite a bit of his income. Is support calculated strictly mathematically? I would honestly be happy if I could lose the child care bill, it's killing me, and it's not necessary...the days the boys are in child care are not days that he works.
I am hoping to take him the numbers he would have to pay, & convince him to be a little bit more active in helping us all survive.
So...is support calculated strictly using the formula?
