From what I read, if you only have kids one divorce, you're still hosed. IANAL, but it looks like this only applies to people who have kids from more than one marriage/mother.

Yes, but I believe it's important that the Court recognized that there's a limit to the arbitrary goofiness we have to put up with. They applied the lowest level of review and still found that this particular manipulation of ncp income did not serve a legitimate government purpose. The Georgia court made a similar finding and declared the whole guideline unconstitutional. If the Tennessee court is consistent, it should declare the whole guideline unconstitutional when asked to do so. I don't want to make anyone assume that's a trivial decision, but it's the same fundamental constitutional principle.

Agreed. But it would have been nice if their decision would have been a bit broader than it was. I guess it's a start...something to build on in one state.
