What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WI
My wife and I are working on the paperwork to jointly file for divorce.
Under the arrangement, we will share legal custody and I will retain primary placement custody of our child.
Further we (want) to waive child support payments to each other. (There are specific reasons, but I don't think it's pertinent to my answer)
So from this, two questions:
Does the custodial parent EVER pay child support (in WI)?
- My income is higher and I am sure under a joint-custodial arrangement with shared placement I would have to make payments to her.
- But since I have primary placement, would I pay support to her under any arrangement?
Also, how difficult would it be for her, once she is on her feet to file and get a joint-custodial arrangement after succeeding primary placement to me already?
- Assuming of course that there is no 'good reason' for this request other than the fact that she in fact wants to change the arrangement
Thanks for any feedback - if any more details are needed please let me know.
