Re-examine child custody laws with a focus on the children and support obligation guidelines for non custodial parents.

Created by D.R. on July 24, 2013

The Law:
Why does the kids Mother get rewarded for not working; the more money she earns = the less I'd pay in support? She was allowed to quit her job in order to raise my support amount, but I'm not allowed to quit my job to lower my amount. I earn more than double minimum wage, but am held to a guideline that says I'm only allowed to net $910 a month. This puts me at the minimum for the federal poverty guideline. Though half my wages are taken, I am not able to receive any assistance, because assistance criteria are based on my gross wages. They do not factor my support obligation, or my contribution to my medical insurance, or the numerous other taxes I have to pay. How can the same system grant a person unwilling to work more money, while making it impossible for the working parent
