[quote]"And as bad as the parent who is pushing for 50/50 simply to limit their child support order.
I'm sure that happens, but what I've seen is probably 80% don't want it because they don't want reduced child support.
I suspect if the system were set up so 50/50 physical custody was standard along with paying full child support like there wasn't shared custody, that shared custody would skyrocket.

Maybe, maybe not. But then there are states where it is set up like that. What are the 50/50 rates there?
Because, in my case, there was no way I was agreeing to 50/50 physical. It didn't matter what the child support amount was. He could have offered his entire paycheck and I would have still said no.
Now I would consider it if it wasn't for his work schedule and his distance (which could easily be remedied by him moving closer). And if it were to switch to that, then we would be taking the parenting time into consideration (and, yes, it would greatly reduce the amount of child support I get, but it was never about the money, it was about the kids and making sure they are taken care of). I am a strong believer that parenting time should play a big factor when it comes to calculating child support.
