California Dissomaster negative calculation?

[zerocookie]

What is the name of your state? California.

Hi, I have a question regarding the Dissomaster used in California. Facts: I am the father, gross income 45K, 1 child from previous marriage 30% of time with me, claiming 2 federal exemptions, filled married jointly(remarried), new wife income 60K.
Mother (ex-wife) has the child 70% of time, filling Head of Household, gross income: 48K, claiming 1 federal exemption.

What does it mean when the Dissomaster gives a negative number for the child support amount to be paid? Does that mean that my ex-wife should pay me child support ???

thank you

Are you adding in your new wife's income for CS to your EX? She's not responsible for CS to your kids from 1st marriage.

Hi, yes my wife is not responsible for CS to my EX. Just want to know what a negative number means in a Dissomaster (with data as provided in my first posting) ? Thank you

Do not add your new wifes income. It is your income, your ex's income and percent of visitation that matters.

No no, Zeroman! your new wifes income has NO bearing on your child support obligation.
