Support obligations need to be based on the actual, variable costs associated with raising a child. The IRS has a precedent in calculating these figures on a proportional basis.When the NCP gets to spend time with his/her child(ren), many times the CP interferes, yet courts almost never press charges on the CP. There is only so much you can spend on a child without spoiling him/her. In order to discourage greed and game playing, support orders must have a maximum amount that cannot be exceeded regardless of how much the NCP earns.Statistics prove that mothers overwhelmingly get sole custody of the children and fathers are forced to pay exorbitantly high child support obligations based on whatever the judge and lawyers feel they can squeeze out of him.
