I've submitted a order for the courts to re-figure child support with the emancipation of my oldest daughter. I have one daughter under 18 that I will still be required to provide child support for.
My ex-wife had a lawyer propose a counter offer using the shared parenting worksheet (appendix D).
I'm confused because her lawyer's numbers make no sense.
The method I'm using to determine the value for line 9 is to look up our combined net income (line 5 combined) in Appendix F for one child. The number for one child then gets filled into line 9.
Her lawyer has put in a number in line 9 that would require our combined net income to be 700 higher than what the lawyer has for line 5?
Am I making a mistake? Or is her lawyer clueless? Am I missing something? I don't want to be wrong and end up costing my ex more in lawyer fees.
(I had links to the Appendix IX-D and Appendix IX-F, but I'm a newbie and this site wouldn't allow links. If you google "NJ child support guidelines" its the first find)
