Finance issues...already...

I talked to a lady at DCS on Thursday and she said that I'd have to use the calculator to figure how much I should be paying. When my child support was orig determined, I was unemployed. So $411, to me is high for being unemployed, but not nearly enough to care for a child. My fiancée's ex husband, making $40k a year, only has to pay $175, according to the calculator. So I'm QUITE a bit stumped on that. I asked the lady at DCS, if parenting time effects the amount, which to Oregon Courts it does, and she said not really. She also said that for it to significantly change the amount of support, I would need to have my son more than half of the month. Well, according to Oregon courts again, if I had him more than half the time, I would be the residential parent and would be able to file child support against my ex wife. ####...Oregon is messed up. Lol, do attorneys take food stamps?

 

And I can attest to chompi's comment about Central willing to help out. I recently had an issue and the company was fast to resolve it and go that extra mile for me. Good to see a company who cares about their employees...probably the first one I've ever had.

 

Are there any O/O's that are willing to hire a FNG right out of training? It's a good idea, and the same thing if/when I decided to go O/O. Don't worry, not going to look into it for at least a year, and when we aren't living paycheck to paycheck.

 

I was there for the whole divorce proceedings. I wasn't what caused the split between them, just helped her get through it all from day one, they were split for a year before the divorce started. So I know he only has one child. But I see what you are saying.

And really?! About the O/O thing? Some people have trust like no other. Lol. Personally I'd rather use the company's truck to tone my skills, not somebody else's. Mind if I ask how he paid you?
