BM is a dumbass!
Correct me if I'm wrong... But CS is based on each parent's income, and if they (BM) don't have an income it is based on what they are CAPABLE of making based on previous jobs. For instance, DH can't just get a lower paying job to lower CS. And BM can't do the same to raise CS.
DH's CS went down earlier this year... BM failed to show up at the hearing or she would have heard the guy tell DH that her income is based off of what she is capable of making, even though she currently doesn't have a job. Now that she has a job making who knows what, she thinks she can take it to court and get DH to pay more again based on the fact that her income is (I'm assuming) lower than what the court put as her being capable of making.
Either way, bitch hasn't worked for the past 7 years. And I'm sure she is making more than $100 a month, which is how much the CS went down.
Welcome to real life where people actually work to support their children. Loser.

I just commented on yours!
I just commented on yours! Haha! Pretty sure your income doesn't have anything to do with it, right? What state do you live in?
Our BM is likely going to be
Our BM is likely going to be laid off in the next year. What happens there? Currently no CS is exchanging hands, BM and DH make about the same $$ and DH pays for all medical - at the divorce, BM was actually ordered to pay DH a small amount monthly to correct the offset of him paying daycare and medical 100%. DH declined it. Since then daycare has gone away - when SS started K, BM demanded the money that was going to the daycare saying DH had to continuing paying the $800 a month but now instead to her. We laughed it off - but seriously, really BM? In her mind, DH owes a certain amount and if its not going to a facility then it goes to her pocket?!?!
Anyway, What i am wondering is, BM has worked at the same job for 15 years - when she gets laid off, will CS be calculated based on her potential to earn? State is AZ. I am dying to know because I know for fact she is going to fight for as much as she can get as soon as she can.
We live in AZ too and our BM
We live in AZ too and our BM has never worked. Our CS is calculated as if BM worked 40 hours a week at at minimum wage since there is no reason she couldn't hold a job if she wanted to.
If she gets laid off, it
If she gets laid off, it should still go by what she made at that job. Even if she went out and got a minimum wage job, the court would look at it like this... She is capable of going out and getting a job similar to the one she had, with similar income. That's what the guy told my DH at the hearing. Now if she never had a job, it would be minimun wage... Since that's what anyone is capable of making in an entry level job. Atleast this is what the guy said.
