His income is over 100k a year. I did notice that Maine considers subsequent children which would reduce the payment somewhat if he has any. |

Well, it makes sense if it is Texas (it is spot on for Texas, summing 33% witholding) and not even close for Maine.(Like double the amount) Not remotely close, so my guess is it was set in Texas and the mother moved to Maine and they think they have to modify in Maine when it needs to be changed to Maine as that is where the kid now resides. |

She lives in Maine and we live in Texas. Is there anyway to get this reduced without having to take a trip to Maine? How can we get this down to a more reasonable amount? == Here is a Maine CS calculation form. You will have to know the income of the mother to calculate properly. If his ordered amount is more than the guidelines, he may get a reduction. If his ordered amount is less than the guidelines, he may get an increase even if he is requesting a reduction. http://www.ptla.org/PDF/childsuppworksheet.pdf Actually, I just did a quick calculation based on the mother not working and it's a significant decrease regardless. == The mother is not working? == In Texas, the CS is based ONLY on the NCPs income (Dad) and is a flat percentage of net income. In Maine, both parents incomes are used to determine the amount. It's going to be a significant drop if juristiction is Maine. == If the original jurisdiction was Maine, and it wasn't transferred to TX., it is still Maine. == Here is a calculator I found http://www.alllaw.com/calculators/ch...ne/default.asp With a gross of $9600 a month, $1500 gross for the custodial parent, ( a guess) $500 in day care (another guess) and $100 for insurance, it calculates to $1410 a month. |

I posted this before - But with all due respect to the OP - If her husband is smart enough to make over $100k per year and can't explain why his CS order is set at $1400 per month, something is wrong with him or her story. |
