Re: Child Support obligation with no job.

TomatoFace, here is how you fight this battle.
Have HIS lawyer pull up the CS calcultor and have him show you what he is imputing you at. THen you say "Ok, but for me to make that, I have to put 4 yo in daycare. I've researched good, quality daycares and here is what they cost a week. Plug in what you are imputing me at monthly and then plug in the daycare costs and lets see where that leaves child support."
Since you can only be imputed at Min. wage, the CS calculation will go UP. Then you say "Ok, if you insist on imputing me, I'll take that additional amount." Then your h will say something like "you know, now that I think about it, you saying home with 4 yo a couple more years is in the child's best interest...blah, blah, blah..."
Now, IN THE MEAN TIME, your job is to go around and get rates of the best daycare facilities in your area. Have their rates with you when you have the converstaion above so you can show them, without a doubt, what full-time daycare really costs. That way, they can't argue with you that your figures are wrong.
