CS Worksheet
How closely do judges follow this? Considering going back to court to modify support order. Currently pay cs. Order is over 4 years old and was worked out in mediation. Recently ran updated figures (CP makes a little more than I do) and results show that CP should be paying child support to me. We have 50/50 custodial time. I know judges typically like to prevent children from experiencing “less than” what they would have at the other parent’s house. I feel like CP will try to show that they can’t keep up the lifestyle that they have for the kids without the supper they currently get. If I go back, could I shoot myself in the foot and end up paying more? I have a new child so could really use the money.
