What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MN
I currently have shared physical and legal custody, but am named as the non-custodial parent. I pay child support per guideline.
My ex and her new husband make a substancial income, where the kids and stepkids qualify for no financial aid, not even student loans. My ex makes around twice what I do.
My ex and I plan to change the decree where I am the custodial parent, as my income is much lower, and the kids would qualify for grants. Timewise, over the last 10 years, I've had the kids from 40-55%, so I have really been as much the custodial parent as my ex, with our shared parenting agreement.
I plan to continue to pay CS as I have, with no changes really. The purpose is simply to use my household income for student aid.
The question is, will a judge sign off on the agreement, with me continuing to pay 30% of my income in support as the new custodial parent, when my ex makes twice my income?
