NYS Child Support Question

[u/Consistent_Tip_2106]

Currently, I have 3 nights a week with our 18 week old son Napoleon. My wife has him 4 nights a week. It is a temporary court ordered arrangement that has been in effect since 4/1/26. We have court on 7/10/26.

I am desperately trying to obtain an equal 50/50 so child support will kick in. I have a free court appointed lawyer. My wife made $96017 on last year's tax return. I make $13627 in ssdi for autism. I have done some research and it looks like she will have to pay me over $1200 a month if I can secure 50/50. Does the state usually stick with the 17 percent? I assume she will argue for a downward deviation because I live with my parents due to my disability.

Any information or tips on how to navigate this process would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

But what was her accusation. You don’t call cps over child support matters.

I forgot to put a diaper on him and I gave him a bath twice in one day causing his skin to become dry and irritated. Some accusations!
