Re: child support

If I understood you right, your son is with you 80% of the time and the other two kids 15% of the time and your net is about $6000 per month (W-2 wages?) and she has about $2500 gross self-employed income.

Without factoring things like mortgage interest and health insurance: c/s $1833, probable maximum s/s $595, total $2428. Could be less, depending on amount of s/s.
