It looks like I will be on the hook for child support soon. I make about 250k/yr and my kids' mother makes 78k/year. I entered in our numbers at cse.ca.gov/ChildSupport/cse/guidelineCalculator and I will be paying her $4726 PER MONTH if I leave completely.
Monthly Net Disposable Income After Support: Me: 8753.00 Her: 9675.00
State law ignores what the kids actually need and instead bases it off of a percentage of income.
How fucked am I Veeky Forums?
What should I do? Leave the country and mail a monthly check for what I feel is fair?
Juan Kelly
Your kids mom may not know how much she is entitled to. You way want to just call her and negotiate for half. If you can work it out outside of court you should do so. Its the only way that you are going to not get raped. If she pushes for the full amount then you can threaten her by saying you get fired from your job (not over the phone or text where there is evidence of your threat of course). The funny thing is that if you lose your job then she would actually have to pay you every month. Then you can use your money and savings to invest and make passive income off the book or start a side business.
Easton Reyes
Or just try to work shit out with her and be with her but fuck bitches on the side. Probably save yourself a ton of money and grief. Good luck bro. Wear a condom next time.
Adam Stewart
...if you have to go to court over this, you're probably best off quitting/getting fired from your job.
Sure, you won't make $250k, but you'd be royally fucking her over in court, and could theoretically get another job with similar pay, could you not?
Brody Gonzalez
>Your kids mom may not know how much she is entitled to.
She is a paralegal.
>Or just try to work shit out with her and be with her but fuck bitches on the side.
Yes. This is what I am doing now, trying to work it out with her while I prepare for the worst.
I run a consulting company. I cannot lose my job. If my business "failed" and my income dropped to $0, California courts can base child support on ability to pay, not what is actually earned.
Bentley Long

David Sanders
Don't know your current situation but with my divorce I ended up paying 2k per month in child support and 2k per month in alimony, my income was 80k at the time. Good luck bro.

Get a close friend to seduce and fuck her and record it for the court.
Bonus points for recording it from the closet while wearing a superman costume.
Alexander Butler
Get the fuck outta here, she doesnt deserve 4 grand a month.
Honestly you shouldnt be sending her anything, she shouldnt be leaving you and taking the fucking child if she cant pay for it, but if you can do something like move to the cayman islands and send her money go for it. Laws are really tricky around this subject and the Cayman island finance industry is very exclusive.
Either way you fucked up hardcore. I'm glad I am gay.

Leave and send check.
I wish my dad would have. Cunt mom pissed it all away.

Sorry dude, but you can obviously afford it.
Anthony Davis
Pay the child support..everybody else does and you can bitch about it but your still going to end up paying it. Be religious about no extra money. Kid wants a new pair of shoes - "tell mom"... Cut your expenses. You don't have to have a big house anymore - no fucking kids! When they turn 18 your done and you still don't have to be with the mom. Good luck

I think alimony is a temporary but separate arrangement than child support.
Child support runs until a kid is 18. Alimony is just for a year or two.

Are you Mexican? Mexican dads often don't want to pay child support. Or buy life insurance. They don't want their woman partying "with Sancho".
Congrats on your Mexitude.
Anthony Baker
This is why I don't want kids. The family side of the legal system is fucked. You had better get a good lawyer, I mean expensive and good one that has worked for women so she or he can lay out the tricks.
Most likely your ex will say you molested your kids if she starts losing in court so be ready for that trust me it happens all the time in court.
You're best bet is to see if you can strike a deal without a judge, just you two and your lawyers. If not you're pretty fucked. Sell your house to a close friend for 1 dollar.
Adam Brooks

IRS, audit, jail.
Unless you 'hide' all the money and never spend it, in which case what's the point.
Adam Young
Naw. The court goes through your financials in detail. They are going to want to know why he went from a $250k salary to a $50k salary with no loss of revenue for the company. He can try to sell that he made the decision to funnel more money back into growing his business but the timing is going to be suspect. When you own your own business they take many things into account including assets and quarterly profit statements. They will use the net profit as a determination of income, not salary. It might have worked if he had a $50k salary from the very beginning.
Juan Cox
Inform the prosecutors (not exactly sure what it's called in US) about shit your wife does, everybody does something illegal, it's out for you to find it and put her in jail and get back your children.
It's the only way, you have to be strong.

Well couldn't he buy stuff he wants on the business account and just say it's for the business? It's not like the business would lose any money if the money was originally going to him anyway.

How could a kid possibly require 4 grand a month? That's more than me and my partners joint monthly income. Or is this some bullshit "quality of life" argument where being forced to live in a house instead of a mansion will traumatise Junior and count as child abuse?
Parker Williams
Lol enjoy getting rammed in the system.
Remember to pay your lawyer extra good cause he will milk you for everything you're worth.
And your wife will be to dumb to notice her lawyer is doing the same to her.
In the end the kid is broken mentally by mom saying dad is a dead beat, dad is broke because he spent the life savings on lawyer fees and child support/allomy, and the ex wife gets to fuck a new guy at the house you paid for if she is lucky. ( if ugly she can drink herself to death )
Owen Rivera
Woman and kid have to die
Sorry op for your impending loss
Parker White
I mean... technically he can. There are a lot of things he can do to minimize his income or pull money out of the business without it counting as income. Just because he can do it doesnt mean he will get away with it though. Really what it comes down to is his legal representation and how well a lawyer can sell it. The court is going to be specifically looking for inconsistencies like this. If he has had $5000 in business expenses for the last 5 years and all the sudden he claims $50k in expenses this year its going to be pretty obvious. Respectively, if his average income for the last 5 years has been $250k, they are going to use that as a benchmark for child support determination even if his income went down and especially if his income went down with no loss of revenue for the company. Allowances can be made if the business is just not doing well. Its going to be up to her lawyers to prove that the business is just as profitable as it has been in the past.
All the courts care about is equality. They want the child to have the same quality of life with the mom as they do with the dad, or else the child is going to favor living with one parent over the other.
Gavin Martinez
What business?
Connor Ortiz
you make $250/year but you ask NEETs on a degenerate image board for legal advice?
Caleb Anderson
>equality
It doesn't seem to equal if the mom gets paid for sitting on her ass. Also it doesn't seem so equal if one parent gets more custody than the other. Courts seem to care about money more than equality.
Josiah Jackson
I suspect that most of such stories are fake anyway. Could be LGBT or MGTOW propaganda, which seems working, because more and more young guys are opting out from family life due to "muh child support", "muh divorce", "wife taking half of your shit". I have like four families living in my neighborhood, all young guys with wives and kids, and they are ok. If i wasn't such a poorfag hkv autist i probably would have married as well. But girls are ignoring me, and I have stopped trying a long time ago. Nevertheless, it's valuable experience in life, a male can't call himself a real man if he isn't a married and doesn't have kids.
Julian Reed
Simple. Don't leave her.
I'm sure you can put up with her for $4k a month. Bet the kid would like that too
Nathaniel Davis
Actually, if you stay married and fuck people on the side, can she divorce you and take your shit, or does OP have to file the divorce to lose money? Because I,m thinking there's a posibility that he's fucked either way.
Josiah James
Op needs to hire some chad to seduce her and then "find out" about it.
Would she still be entitled to his money if he dumps her for cheating on him?
Wyatt Evans
If she gets custody, no. It'll only prevent his assets from being split with her.

So you get divorced and have to pay child support. Aren't you required by law to pay up? If you don't pay child support, why doesn't the ex-wife report it to the police or their lawyer?
I don't get it. Bounty hunters will come after you over parking tickets, but skip out on child support and you're untouchable?
Colton Scott
Why the fuck wouldn't you try to get 50/50 custody you fucking cuck?
Jeremiah Wright
If you don't pay child support you go to jail.
If you have no job you're off the hook, but if you have income and you aren't paying your court declared child support they will put you in jail.

You fucking retards, shut up. Since like the 90s every state in the entire country has adopted no fault divorces, which means NOTHING THAT HAPPENS DURING THE MARRIAGE affects the woman (or, extremely rarely, the man's) "right" to half of marital assets.
Yes that includes cheating. If you tell the court she was cheating on you and you have picture, video, text, and email evidence, the response will be "so what?"
Sebastian Lopez
>If you have no job you're off the hook bzzzt, wrong. If you were earning money and lose your job, your INABILITY to pay is legally identical to a REFUSAL to pay. Child support is *literally* the only debtor's prison legally allowed in any western country today. Really.

whoops wrong thread
Lincoln Ward
OP here.
I never once said I wanted to completely avoid child support and be a dead beat dad. I want to pay a FAIR AMOUNT.
I left out an important bit of info: We are not married.
In any case, I hired a lawyer. He said tricks like increasing business expenses or moving my company to the Caymans will not work. The court will see the change and just use my average income from the past 5 years. The only solution is to get her to sign a "Child Support by Agreement" for an amount I feel is fair.
She can sign or I will move to a country with no Federal International Child Support Agreement with the U.S. and pay zero. I would never actually leave though. I'll just suck it up and pay the whatever the court decides if she calls my bluff.
Alexander Torres
So, you're a pussy?
Samuel Evans
You have more money than her, why are you not vying for sole custody of the child? Don't give it to her this easily you fucking moron, obviously 90% of the money you send her is going to go into shoes and new iPhones, not your fucking child.
