Quote by: Mr.Vicchio From what I understand, the State of Kansas can and will take her income into acocunt. Why?
We are legally a single entity, my income is her income is my income sort of mentality.
Nothing I can do about it that I know of. The reason I was given aside that is, what if she pulled 100k a year and I chose to, flip burgers at McDonalds to avoid paying high child support payments...
It's a hosed system. I pay what I am asked, I have joint custody of the kids (even if in Maine I cannot see them often) but this is over the top. |
But why would you do that? If you were still married to your first wife, would you take a lower paying job to give less to your children? I won't make a judgement on whether I think it's fair for the law in your state to include your wife's income, but aside from the law, the two of you WILL be a unit, and won't you both want the best for your kids?
The tax thing is whack, though. Are you talking state or federal? Because I thought you do get to claim it on Federal, but in Texas we don't have state tax so I'm not familiar with it.
Congrats on your engagement. Or is it on your marriage by the time I'm reading this?
