For something that should be so simple, child support can be a very complicated thing. What many parents don't realize is that child support is not just based on income.
While income is an important factor, it is not the most important one. Visitation is a key component when the courts determine the amount of child support. For instance, regardless of your income, if you have custody of your child(ren) half of the time, you likely will not have to pay child support. The theory behind it is the fact that you are directly supporting the child(ren) half of the time.
So many parents, fathers in particular, are frustrated by the large amount of their child support payments without realizing that by asserting their right to more visitation time, they can effectively reduce child support in the process. It creates a win-win, saving money, and more importantly, spending more time with one's child(ren).
