I'm just wondering why Family Law is reluctant to change CS...and where I am going with this relates to Table amounts.
I currently pay Table amount of CS because I am unable to reach the 40% threshold to have shared parenting. My work prevents this - and until I can later that - I am currently at about 32%.
Is it so difficult to set up a graduated scale of CS payment based on the some formula taking into account the number of hours or days the OP has with the children?
I could turn my back on my kids (which I would never do) and still only pay what is the Table amount.
Yet when I have the kids - I buy food - have beds for them to sleep in - they use utilities - I buy clothes - gifts - meals out - spend gas to take them to their activities - car wear etc...
Has any lawyer or action group ever lobbied to try to get the rules concerning CS altered? If not....why not?
I'm not disputing the need for CS - but an all or nothing based on a threshold of 40% access time seems very one-sided.
Maybe I'm just living in a fantasy land
cheers
