Hi,
I am looking for some information on formulas to identify child support amounts in a particular situation that I can't find any info on the Web about.
Currently I have a Court Order in place indicating shared access and the child support amount is based on both parents income. I make a lot more than the kids mother, so the amounts is offset based on her imputed 25k per year. I have 2 children.
The access is changing where my 14y/old is now residing full time with her mother and the other daughter is remaining in shared custody.
I am looking for a formula to define the CS amount based on one kid living full time with her mother and the other one living in a shared access situation. I make 95k per year and she makes 25k.
I have found a support calculator online (mysupportcalculator) and it seems to provide a reasonable amount in between the CS amount offset for shared access (980) and the full table amounts (1353). the amount suggested is 1154.
It seems that the kids mother has another formula that she says is coming from the Duty Counsel, her amount suggested is 1400+. They came up with that amount by taking the full table amount for 1 child (839) to represent the kid on full access and added that to the amount for 1 child that is offset based on the 2 incomes (839 - 200=639). This calculation came up to an amount of 1478 per month.
Does that make any sense? It sure doesn't to me. How can having one child full time and the other half the time result in more child support than the full table amounts for 2 kids?
Anybody experienced that situation before? What was the formula used?
Any advice and information provided would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
