Don't be upset if you think that and think you're paying too much, because chances are you're not. I've very rare, matter of fact. I don't know of anybody. I've ran into who when you actually sat down and figured the amount was actually paying too much.
Child support can be one of the trickiest aspects to handle after a divorce. In this episode of the 'Surviving Divorce Podcast', host G.D. Lengacher gets real about the financial obligations that come with raising children post-separation. Drawing from his own experience, he shares how he managed child support payments even while having joint custody.
He breaks down the numbers game, explaining how child support is calculated based on various factors like custodial arrangements, income, and the number of children involved. Lengacher stresses that child support isn't a punishment but a necessary responsibility to ensure your children's well-being. One of the key takeaways is understanding that child support covers more than just direct expenses for the kids. It can also contribute to household costs like rent, utilities, and even car payments.
However, Lengacher advises parents to be respectful and considerate in how they use these funds, keeping the children's needs at the forefront. The episode also tackles the complications that arise with joint custody. Traditional setups might have straightforward calculations, but deviations can make things complex. Extra nights spent with one parent can influence the amount of support required. The good news? Child support orders can be modified if circumstances change, offering some flexibility.
Lengacher encourages listeners to approach child support with civility and mutual respect. It's not just about meeting financial obligations but also about fostering a cooperative environment for the sake of the children. For anyone navigating the choppy waters of post-divorce life, this episode offers practical advice and emotional support to help you manage child support responsibly.
