What is the name of your state? live in Fla
but the court order is from Ga.

The St. of Fla has sent hubby papers to fill out about what is owed to him for back CS. His court order states that NCP is to send him $50.00 a week to be received by every Fri. Now what we are trying to figure is there are basically 52 weeks in a yr. He says there are something like 52.4 wks or so...
Anyways, he's come up with the figure of $216.66 a month.
What I'd like to know before I fill out his paper work.... would it be the simple $200 a month or the figure of $216.66.
What is ya'lls opinion on this......

Thaxs again,
Stars

Actually, 1 year = 52.177457 weeks, so let's compare:

52 weeks x $50 a week = $2600 a year / 12 (months) = $216.67 per month. (actually it was 216.66666666666 but you have to round up)

52.177457 x $50 a week = $2608.87 a year / 12 (months) = $217.41 per month. (and actually this was 217.40607083333, but we round up again)

If he came up with $216.66 he's using the straight up 52 even weeks per year and forgot to round up the next number which would make it $216.67.

But hey, tell him I found him an extra penny per month because I rounded up!! :p :p ;)

It's only a 73 cent difference between the 2 figures. He could actually use either one although generally speaking a year is counted as 52 weeks with no decimal points.

There are 52 weeks in a year. However, there are 4 weeks plus 2-3 days in every month except February.

Therefore you take 52x50 which equals 2600 and divide it by 12 to come up with a monthly amount of 216.66.

or...you simply go by weeks, and add up the total number of weeks that someone is in arrears....and multiply it by 50.

My husband's order is for $50.00 per week, at one point both Fl. CSE and Ga. CSE stated that he is ordered to pay $216.66 per month, so I guess that they view it as 52 weeks.

Since your hubby's order specifys a weekly payment, it will probably be better for him to use the $216.66 per month figure. Hope this helps.
