Thanks! The only problem with that calculator (even though there is a self employed option) is that she is self employed and we don't know what they look at regarding income (taxes for most self employed people don't reflect their true income). Also, do you know if child care is included in...

Well here is the question anyway: Right now they split before child care. If he is granted physical custody, then is there a way to figure out how much he should ask for regarding child support each month? I'm assuming they will continue to split child care and in 4 years or so they won't...

Dang it...it won't work. It says that I need like a 100 posts to send one to you and I tried to reply to the one you sent me yesterday (I think it was) and it won't allow that either :confused:

Proserpina, is there a way to ask you another question without everyone else to see? It won't allow me to send a private message to you...

Does this mean he would technically share custody with her but they would live with us?

Thank so much for your feedback! I'm sorry you received negative feedback especially when we know we are only asking questions. He is filing the papers to do mediation this week so hopefully everything works out. Best of luck to you!!

Thank u so much (and Proserpina) for your support! The last thing I am trying to do is take their mothers place. They have one mom and that is not me. However, if she chooses to not be there for her kids and their father IS and WANTS to be (whether I'm in the picture or not) then I will fully...

I agree...it may not legally constitute as abandonment but morally and emotionally I think it does. Thank you both for your feedback and help. It's much appreciated!

Oh, one more thing...when they got divorced they did it cheap, fast, and agreed to split everything down the middle through Affordable Legal Aid so there wasn't any type of "custody" discussed. Can he still "file to modify custody" as you mentioned above?

Thank you so much for your help and yes, I do understand that it is "he" that will get custody ;). We absolutely do not want to do this but she has left him with no choice. I have completely stayed in the background when it comes to them dealing with the boys (even though we will be married...

My boyfriend shares custody 50/50 with his ex wife of their twin 7 yr old boys (no child support they just share child care). For the past 2 years, the days she is suppose to have them, she leaves them with her mother so she can go to her boyfriends house. She never shows up at parent/teacher...
