Nj | I May Be The Higher Earner Yet After Taxes I’m Left With Nothing
My ex is taking me to child support court in LOCATION: New Jersey. I make slightly more than him — maybe $4k–$7k more per year — but he also receives bonuses from his job and earns additional money trading stocks.
I pay for our child’s health insurance. Because we have 50/50 custody week‑on/week‑off, I’m not allowed to leave the state, which forced me to get a car. I also pay extended childcare so I can work and attend school. My job pays a childcare benefit that goes directly to his mother.
I maintain a two‑bedroom apartment and cover utilities, food, clothing, transportation, and all other daily expenses.
My ex lives upstairs in his father’s home as a tenant, with his father living downstairs.
Given that I’m paying significantly more of the actual costs to support our child, even with 50/50 custody, how does New Jersey typically handle child support in situations where one parent has higher expenses but the other parent has additional income from bonuses and investments?
