In today's insightful episode, we delve into the complex world of child support, exploring how it's calculated and addressing a provocative question: What if we abolished traditional child support and moved towards splitting all expenses for our children 50/50? Our discussion isn't just about numbers; it's about the real-life implications and challenges of such a drastic shift. We examine the potential hurdles in high-conflict relationships, where eliminating child support could escalate tensions and add layers of stress. The conversation also turns to how, even in amicable situations, this approach demands increased communication with your ex-partner and a constant alignment in decision-making – a task easier said than done.
