I am filling in the income needs for a Form E and was wondering how these are taken into account. I am separated from my wife and I live with the children and have done for 18 months. As I live with the children and in the family home the amount I spend is quite considerable compared to my Wife.
We have agreed (it could change!) on a 50/50 split of everything and the children will be 50/50 too, but as she has pushed this too court and refused to negotiate prior to an FDA I am afraid she may push for more of everything.
So I am wondering how a court takes the income needs into account? How much weight do they carry?
