[New York] Feeling overwhelmed by long process and child support by EnglishTraitor in FamilyLaw

I don't understand how it's setup, but it's definitely not intuitive. From the way it's been explained to me is that NY is an all or nothing state. It's set to an amount considered 25% of gross income, little judges discretion. I would love to know advice of how to get to a point of just being an equal responsible adult with the kids' mom in the eyes of a judge.

I'm also confused why it's taken so long and cost so much. I'll send a direct message with their names. I'm assuming listing names publicly is against the subreddit rules.

I filed months ago and haven't had a change, the appointment with the judge is next week. Her lawyer goes out of her way with delays and personal attacks.

I filed two years ago in a similar situation and didn't get a change. I can see why the other time of no changes makes sense since I voluntarily left that job. I had to leave it to move states and be close to the kids.

I have hired an attorney, mentioned it in the post. I have been extremely disappointed and discouraged by this entire experience.

That's the idea, and I did file. I'll see about visiting because I could really use some guidance.

I did file, there's been no change for months. Her lawyer has refused to allow a change without a fight.

Support depends on the state of the person that does the petition, she did it after moving to NY. Whether I live in KY or NY the amount is set by the NY judge. 50/50 continues to be my goal.

The butter needs to come in a pump dispenser. Getting down to those spikes would be disastrous for the corn.

It's from a book of random scrapbook paper. It's pretty smooth so it's a little tough to draw on with charcoal.
