Am facing this right now... In my current profession and experience level, many jobs entail significant international travel to india/asia/usa. Now that I have a young child, my time with her is precious, and I am not interested in forfeiting my midweek 22hour access (CP has made it very clear that she will tolerate no flexibility in our schedule... oh, except cancellations are fine). So, my job prospects are limited by 50% (resulting in longer job searches), and the average pay for those remaining prospects may be 75% of the others (just wild guesses here). But, a judge looking at my employment history would say I should be making $150K+. How successful do you think I would be in court to claim that my 1 day a week with daughter overrides mother's demand of another $3350/yr in CS? And you can start laughing now if I tried to reduce CS while looking for a job (as I currently am)!
Yet, I think that moms can much more easily make similar arrangements to spend time with their kids, and have no problems justifying their lower income.
I am the wallet, kookookachoo!
