I disagree about a man getting a female lawyer. My husband got one and he got severely screwed over! (ex moved with the kids, accross the country, he had to pay 100% of access costs (3600/year) untill "mom" got a job, which lasted 8 years of her being unemployed, 100% of extra-ordinary costs, 100% of medical dental, 100% of braces, etc.)
Now the ex has a job, he still pays 80% of everything, on-top of CS. She gets 1000/month in CS (and we pay another 600/month in extra costs) It is well over 50% of his income. She makes about 24,000K/year, gets 12,000 in CS, about 8000 in CCTB, about 3000/tax refund, so has an income (after tax) of 47,000, half of which is "given" to her.
My husband makes 60K - taxes(30%) = 42,000 - 12,000 (CS) - 7200 (extras) = 22,800. Not to mention the home we keep for the kids and what we spend when they stay here all summer.
Anybody who doesn't think men get screwed (cause most do not get custody unless they have $$$ to fight for it) needs to learn BASIC math, and the truth about custody and "visitation".
The female lawyer didn't help him at all, you'd think she was working for his ex.
