Since when does the court take a boyfriends/new husbands income into consideration?Anonymous 1 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 9:20 amBMs boyfriend makes more money than we do by far.

BMs boyfriend has no obligation to the kids. His income isn’t a factor at all as far as the courts are concernedAnonymous 1 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 9:20 amBMs boyfriend makes more money than we do by far.

Honey, I'm the original one-eyed chicklet in the kingdom of the blind, 'cause at least I admit the world makes me nuts.
"DH lost his job a few months back. ,,, He is actively looking for a job and has had several interviews and a few second interviews. He is over qualified for most of the jobs and people are seeming to have a problem with that. There are no jobs at the level he has been working at for years just below."
But there are jobs below the level he has been working at for years, so that excuse flies out the window.
It depends on where you live. My point is there is no income discrepancy when it comes to the kids. Their mom's house is nicer, bigger, and in a better area than ours is. It isnt like they go from our house to poverty.
Places do not want to hire people who are over qualified because they want more money and they are afraid he will leave the first chance he gets if it is a higher level job. This is common sense.Anonymous 6 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 9:55 am"DH lost his job a few months back. ,,, He is actively looking for a job and has had several interviews and a few second interviews.

You missed my point. DH talked to his lawyer and at this point if DH goes to court BM will end up paying him. He hasnt decided if he wants to do that or not.

I didn’t agree with you, that’s all.

How does that excuse fly out the window when he is being told he is over qualified for the positons just below the level he was working atAnonymous 6 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 9:55 am"DH lost his job a few months back. ,,, He is actively looking for a job and has had several interviews and a few second interviews.

The reason CS is ordered when both have 50/50 is so that both houses are equal. That is the point of it so that the kids dont go from a nice house to living in poverty. So yes you did miss it. Not agreeing with facts is silly.Bubbs wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 10:14 amThen that’s what will happenAnonymous 1 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 10:08 amYou missed my point.
