The daily caring for the child, buying his clothes, cooking food, manageing his calandar doesn't count for anything?? A cusdodial woman has to work, take care of the children, and pay half of the upkeep? Doesn't seem fair to me. A good nanny costs about 25K plus housing. I think at leas 2/3 of that needs to be factored in here.

Sorry, but no, it doesn't count. She has him 63% of the time legally, but the vast majority of that time is spent with him in school or asleep, neither of which requires any effort.

The 37% of the time I have him is almost all full-time attention.

The state estimates that a custodial parent spends 72 hours more per year with the child than a non-custodial parent.

As for cooking...she has to eat anyway. It's not any extra effort. Buying clothes? We both do that.
