Ok, somebody explain the logic of this to me. Our state (as well as most other states) use this computer program to calculate temporary support. Because I make 95% of the income and my WW makes 5% (she works a 15 hour per week part-time city job), it spits out these numbers. I need to give 42% of my take-home pay to my WW, even though we are going to share 50/50 custody. It would have been higher if I weren't diligent in keep track of various expenses I've been fronting. My L said the % will come down if the divorce is finalized, and there will be an adjustment time for the judge to scale up her hours and make her go get full time employment. But probably not for 6 months to a year later. She has a BS and worked full-time before we married. How is any of this fair, for someone who cheated on me, breaks up the marriage? I have to help facilitate her lifestyle??? Basically it's detachment but for my money!
