Child Support?

VAries by state but most are trying to close the loopholes people use.

 

The support statute in Texas is broad: it includes all wages, income, tips, bonuses; dividends or royalties; net rental income; and any other income actually received, including per diem, disability, and spousal maintenance. ... One child = 20 percent. Two children = 25 percent.

 

Yes, per diem is included when calculating your income for child support purposes. That's because if you're getting money from an employer to cover food and other expenses, you're not spending your own money on that, and therefore have more funds available tosupport the child. ...

Plus medical insurance

 

Havent read through the whole post so this may have already been said but I would get a lawyer and get visitation set by the courts.

 

Well, if they recalculate that on me in that way I will not be able to help my kids or my ex nearly as much as I do now.

She will get more each month, which will be spent each month, and I will have much less to save for when they really need it.

 

Exactly

 

I ask the judge back then how I was supposed to live on what was left. His quote not his problem.

 

Since 2017 a airline pilot was paying $65,000 extra on just per diem a year. She knew what she was doing.

 

She can spend the money as she sees fit.
There is no requirement in how a person spends child support.
