I just got off the phone with my attorney. As usual, he did not paint a pretty picture for me. He said typically a judge just looks at what a person makes and calculates out what I should owe by the guidelines and makes it official.
Plus, he may order me to chip in on child care.
This is the lawyer that came highly recommended, huh? If all you are going to get is what "typically" happens, why do you even need one? You're paying this guy to protect your interests, not just settle for what's typical.
Everybody hurts. It's part of life. Don't miss the good stuff.
