Again, we have 50/50 custody. Our incomes are broken up 55% vs 45% (I make a bit more than her). Total daycare expenses are $980/month and I write the check for that. The $417/month she is required to pay me almost covers her percent of the daycare.
If I did not have controlling expenses, she would have to pay me about $50 less per month. She says the reason I get that $50 extra is because I have controlling expenses, which she claims includes me providing clothing for both households. She claims her lawyer is telling her she is only required to feed and entertain them during her week, the rest is my responsibility.
