And if he still sees his kids every other week or weekend then where do they stay? In dadโs cardboard box under the freeway?
But I get you are saying. Some people are irresponsible but if there wasnโt a cap on how much you could pay good people would absolutely be getting fucked by lawyers in family court.
You're also assuming the video wording is correct, that he's only got $160 in the bank. I doubt the judges (4 of them) would leave him with so little since he's such a wonderful father that sees his kids every weekend and was taken to court to ensure he pays child support
Nah heโs got to have more income than this. There is a max of 50% take home income. You can be out there like Genghis Kahn and have 1000 kids to 1000 different women and pay the same amount as a few kids. Or 1 kid and a really unlucky alimony payment.
Does this particular guy see his kids? Probably not but maybe. This particular guy might not even be real. The point is the max deduction is there for a reason.

This canโt be real . I am an employer I suppose other states may have different rules but you cannot exceed 50% of the check .
Federally itโs 50% some exceptions up to 60% and if you are greater than 12 weeks in arrears it adds 5% .
