Pearl - The Child Support Calculator That Controls Your Life w⧸ @thisisshah

00:00:00.000 You know I worked at child support so my the whole job of a child support officer is to look at a

00:00:04.160 calculator. I mean aside from the locate and the cheek swabs for the genetic tests and whatever.

00:00:10.720 The calculator is just this thing on my screen that you you have to know and on this side you

00:00:16.640 put in his income on that side you put in her income and then this is the custody and then

00:00:20.560 there's you know various other things you know whatever your mortgage interest or something.

00:00:25.280 but for the most part that's the core of it and so for five years i i look at this calculator and

00:00:31.120 if two people make the same income and it's 50 custody that's that's zero nobody owes each other

00:00:36.240 anything um if you're a guy and she makes more money she might have to end up paying you depending 1.00

00:00:42.720 on what custody is or especially for alimony that's going to be different so i i read thousands

00:00:48.640 of divorce orders and child support orders and i just looked at the calculator i looked at what

00:00:54.720 what people were doing, I saw whose divorces

00:00:57.360 seemed to be the worst, whose seemed to be

00:00:59.500 at least manageable, like if I had to get divorced,

00:01:01.780 who would I be?

00:01:03.840 And the people that seem to be married

00:01:08.060 to people who make around the same income

00:01:10.700 seem to have the most, you know, like,

00:01:13.220 easy, amicable divorces.

00:01:15.260 If you're not gonna have that,

00:01:17.840 and you know, she's not gonna make money, 1.00

00:01:19.360 and you're gonna make a lot of money,

00:01:20.280 at least not be married to her.
