I'm in the midst of dealing with this. It's up to me to prove why my uninvolved-until-now, abusive, autistic husband shouldn't get 50% custody. Even though I can prove how uninvolved he's been up to now. Even though he has an autism diagnosis. Even though we have years of couples therapy dealing with behaviour issues and parenting issues connected to his diagnosis. I AM SO LIVID. The system needs to change.
"The average father pays $5,181 in average annual support—$431.75 per month, comprising about 9% of the average father’s income. "
The only guy I knew paying child support was easily paying half his paycheck, about $600 per week from his middling government job of $60,000. This was a working class income in NYC. This was over ten years ago. Maybe things have changed and become worse. I wonder why this is.
