On Family Law Matters Our position on: Assumed Joint Custody · from the moment of separation · Remove children as an item to fight over in divorce 2 days per week minimum full parenting time for the parent who does not have physical custody, parties are free to agree to other terms. · punishment/sanctions if one parent refuses to comply · only in exceptional, proven (not alleged) circumstances, approved first by a judge should this be altered, and only if other possible arrangements(supervised access) are not available · "dirty tricks", false allegations, removing the children, P.A.S. will as a principle NOT be rewarded by consideration toward the "status quo" · an ex-parte motion will be easily and quickly overturned if proven false · there will never be any costs awarded for fighting for your children's rights Our Position on :Child Support · Child support will be deducted as a percentage of gross income, as reflected in income tax return/ withholdings · if a payer is not working, no child support, no accrued child support · this adjustment is to be increased or decreased, as the case may be, automatically, without requiring a court order · other children in the payer's household must be taken into account in determining child support. · the parent where the child is living's income is a valid consideration, and in some situations where that household has significantly greater income, child support should be reduced · the support is to be paid to the child, · the support is divided accordingly as a percentage of the time spent with each parent   Created by Dave Foster and dedicated to my daughter Ashley, whom I haven't seen in 3 years, Thanks to Judge David Robert Main.
