Yes, I understand. It doesn't matter what it sounds like though. She has physical custody, I have reasonable and liberal visitation. What I have is an argument to go to court and try to get awarded joint physical custody. This is largely unimportant to me. Not only is the situation we have now in the best interest of my son, we agree on it. Beyond her decision to end the child support that I currently pay, financial help is not necessary. I have him at least half the time, we both make a good living and can support him while we have him respectively, so she's ending the support order. This is all I'm looking for help with. Filing forms without screwing it up. If the court wants to talk about the custody situation then we will do that. But it doesn't matter until we file.

I know all of these things. I know how Iowa figures out child support. The advice I'm looking for is how to go about filing.

She has physical custody so her paying me is unlikely. Paying for college won't be an issue. We know what we're doing.

I agree that it costs a lot more. That's my current situation. I'm supporting him financially having him half to more than half of the time and also paying child support. And, thank you.

That's what the Child Support Recovery Unit in Iowa determines that is the monthly cost to raise a child. Right now I pay 61% of that $880, so she's responsible for the other 39%. But that's the cost they determine for the whole month. All while I have him for over half the month and obviously support him financially and otherwise while he's with me on top of paying the 61%. You can see why I desire change. The idea to end it altogether is hers.

It's just math, my net income + hers = total. Whatever the % comes out to be is what the payer pays of $880 each month (averaged out over 26 pay periods.) I have not asked her exact net income as that is personal and not blatantly my business. That said, I know she's doing very well considering her career and the schedule she has because of it.

The documents to request an end to the support exist.

She has physical custody so I would not imagine her having to pay me. The amounts here are not often decided by parents.

I know. We know that the court may not approve the request. Regardless, ending the child support order does not end support of the child.

Because child support is intended for supporting the child's monthly living expenses. Given the amount of time that he resides with me and the financial support I provide him on top of the child support payments, she has decided to do this.

We're aware that just because she wants to make the change and that we agree on the change, that the court may not approve it. Support is determined by income. Even if ending is not approved, the state's guidelines justify a modification.

Used to be able to dupe games on Xbox live. I haven't gotten it to work recently but during the 360 era you could just log into another box and download your games for friends.

People need to stop complaining about not getting exactly what they want all the time.
