Q: This is complex, atleast to me, so I will try to cover all the bases. So we have 3 kids and we were never married but
we broke up and share time with the kids. I usually have them 3 days and she has them 4. However, when she has them I take them to school and pick them up all week. I was the primary caregiver to the kids while she worked on her career. We both worked and paid for pretty much everything 50-50. She now makes $70,000 and I make maybe $30,000. She is filing for child support. I am wondering if I, as the father will need to pay child support even though she doesn't have full custody and makes more money than I ? Also, will me being primary caregiver for years while she pursued her career factor in? And could I possibly file for child support from her? Thank you
