Brother, I feel for ya! Been there, done that, as have many of us! I call it the "dick" tax. Just because you got a dick, and the Domestic Relations courts, etc are also full of them.......you're dicked! I think it was Robin Williams that once said "Divorce has become somewhat of a declaration granting a womans right to rip off a mans testicle through his wallet".
My case went on nearly as long as yours has, but back in Ohio and a long time ago. I was fighting for custody as I saw no reason I should be a part time dad simply because their mother couldn't grasp the concept that once you get married, you're SUPPOSED to stop dating.........She's done it yet again to her husband number 2 since......but ANYWAY, She had a college degree, I do not. During the proceedings she was awarded temp custody until the trial 9 months later. hence, I hadda pay Child support RETROACTIVE from the day I filed. She never filed, I did, so I was 5 months in the hole to begin with. Sooo, my actual biweekly take home pay was anywhere between $75-$125 for 5 months when my gross back then was $2000-2600....... was quite a joke with my peers, lemme tell you. Then when I won the trial........she's ordered to pay $360 a month........wait a fukin minute!!! same kids, right?
Been fighting that battle for 10 years and I don't think there's any way to win, even though she makes bank and I do NOT!
The way it is written in law, everywhere, is that they're supposed to figure both incomes, or income potentials in the case of an unemployed parent, figure the kids share, then whatever percentage works out for mom and whatever works out for dad is what you are responsible for. I don't beleive anyone in any Domestic Relations section on the planet has math skill 1 to know that 4+1 don't equal 2, and nowhere is there any followup on where any money goes spent by the custodial parent!
Miss a child support payment, your DL will be suspended, a warrant issued, etc, etc. If a woman does it? I can tell you what will happen. NOTHING!!!! I had a domestic relations employee in Ohio tell me over the phone once "Haven't you done enough, leave that poor woman alone............." She was no longer employed the following morning...
