Comments
where did these $$ numbers come from?
define "dependent child residing with "him" - OR "HER" - (think that's missing - there are many MEN with custody due to crackhead mothers and mothers who desert) the $$$ should be based on whatever $$ Socialist Services provides in the form of food stamps, housing assistance etc...What does "household gross income" have to do with it? If my gross HOUSEHOLD income is $4005, but my BILLS are $3995 - why wouldn't "I" qualify? go off of NET/DISBURSED INCOME ...
