Does anyone know whether X and I can agree to a child support amount lower than what the state calculator shows? The amount the state has calculated is nice for me but makes it almost impossible for him to live and get out of my house into an apartment etc.
Child Support - Lower Amount?
Does anyone know whether X and I can agree to a child support amount lower than what the state calculator shows? The amount the state has calculated is nice for me but makes it almost impossible for him to live and get out of my house into an apartment etc.
His attorney has the decree drafted right now where he would get standard visitation plus the first week of each month in the summer, because then he gets a 15% credit on child support due to the number of days/nights.
X said he's willing to give me the visitation schedule I want and allow me to move out of state etc. if I will agree to lower the child support amount. Just wondering if I can even do this or not? We're in Iowa if that helps...
