I once had the idea that child support payments should be like an auction/bidding process.None of this has ever made any sense to me. If a woman wants me to support her, she needs to be nice enough not to get kicked out of my house. Sound mean? Don't move in with me. You want to leave and take our children? They're your responsibility now. If you can't afford them, bring them back. You don't get to demand equal pay and also alimony. I don't care about the cries of how you "gave up my career". That might be valid in a few easily provable cases, but for everyone else it's just an excuse. I also don't buy that you got used to living at a particular level so I have to give you thousands of extra dollars. You have a new level now. If you can get used to it going up, you can get used to it going down.
Huh?
Yeah.....you bid how much child support you are willing to take or pay to the other person. And he/she can counter the bid until an agreement is reached.
Example: I'll take the kid and you can pay me $450 a month in child support.
Counteroffer: No, I'll take the kid and you can pay me $400.
See what's happening here?
Rrrrright.......a whole new way to figure out a proper/agreeable Child Support Payment.
BUT, But, but.....what happens if no parent wants the kid?
Aloha, Mark
Hummmmm.......What If? Say that no parent really wanted the kid?
Offer: You take the kid and I'll pay you $500 a month in child support.
Counteroffer: No, you take the kid and I'll pay you $550 a month.
