I pay $600 a month in child support and I also cover all Medical/Dental insurance plus expenses for my daughter. My paychecks with deductions are $540 every two weeks. I have a hard time getting by, buying things for my daughter and taking her places when I have her on my visitations every two weeks. How am I to tell if I am paying too much? Judges in my county will make you pay more if they think you are trying to get out of paying. (Seen it happen) Little background. My ex and I were never married but after 5 years she left me for another guy, she works at subway, drives a brand new car and recently bought a brand new house with her new boyfriend. Thanks in advance!
--------------------
Your "little" backround info. helped a little, but we really need to know what state your in. All states calculate support differently. Some use a fixed income model, like NY or TX, and the paying parent always pays the same percentage of their net income. So the more you make, the more you pay. Other states like OH or OR use an incomes shared model where they take both parents incomes into consideration & all kinds of deductions for things like med insurance, other cs or alimony paid, union dues, local taxes paid, ect. NO state will take into consideration living expenses (house payment or utilites), car payments, student loan payments, etc. NO state will care that she has a live in boyfriend. Some states will include a new spouses income into the figures, but most do not. So, again, we need to start with your state to find out if what you are paying is correct. Here is a link to find your states main cs website. They should have either the cs worksheets or a cs calculator somewhere on their site. Then it's just a matter of plugging in the numbers. http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cse/exti… If you'd like a little more help, feel free to e-mail me through my profile.

Could an infected/absessed tooth cause health problems?
My lower left, back molar is infected AND absessed... The infection (or something) has eaten a hole through the center of this tooth, and the surrounding gums are sore. It has been like this for quite some time now. I went to the doctor a few months back, and he prescribed Penicillin for the infection.. but due to my fear of taking medications (I dont want it to make me throw up =/ ) I did not take 1 Penicillin tablet. Do I wish now that I would have taken it? Sure. I was just wondering if an infected/absessed tooth could be what causes my labrynthitis..which is a viral ear infection that causes EXTREME dizziness...not fun WHAT SO EVER.. And I still have slight dizziness and a weird lightheaded feeling at times.. Ive lost a good amount of weight, and cant put any pounds back on.. My eyes kind of bug out of my head a lot.. I mean, PURELY annoying and life alterting symptoms.. I would LOOOOOVEEEE to have this tooth REMOVED from my mouth, and just feel better!! The only problem is I have no dental insurance. Where could I go to have it removed? Im incapable of paying ANYTHING upfront to the dentist for the removal of this tooth..unless they would accept like $20.. Would the ER do it?? Do you think this bad tooth, which has been infected and messed up for... a little over a year now, be what is causing my ear problems and other health problems?? Please help.. I would give anything to make myself feel better...and normal again. THANK YOU!

Hey girl well i've heard that it needs to be treated asap, and that it can affect your immune system and if left untreated it can be life threatening. Now where to get treated ... depending on where you live you can go to those government clinics that are for low income ppl, sometimes they do the job for free bc the state pays for it. Or you can go to a university and be like the "Guinea pig" of the dental class, many ppl do that to get the work for a small fee, after all the work is performed under the supervision of professionals. I hope you get better and find a solution. I coulnt send you the pharm. message to your e-mai, or your answer replyl bc it was too long. about the pharmacy.. Let me start by saying OMG!!! I feel 100% the same way!! And yes I to need the money BAD. I cannot believe you've been there for 2yrs and still feel the same way, makes me realize that its not going to get any better with time. I think its one of those jobs that either the job is right for you or not. And girl don't even let me start about your pay!!. They really really need to give you a raise!! They told me that whenever I got my certification they would give me a raise, I've been reading that is usually 2 dollars and from there its like 50cents every yr. Anyways my family really wants me to give it a try and hang in there but Im in HELL, they think it's a great opportunity and it is, but for the right person, and I feel so bad that Im not going to be able to stay in this job, I feel like a failure, like Im a weak person, and cant handle life, I feel like a great opportunity was handed to me and I cant deal with what it takes to be in there. Girl I have cried at night over the stress/frustration that Im feeling, Im have extreme anxiety when I go to work. Like I told you, if Im there for 8hrs I feel that its been an entire day or more, and when I go home I cant stop thinking about what I got myself in to. I thought this was going to be a rewarding job but IT is NOT, on the contrary I want to kill and strangle people. The other day a women was yelling at me right before I got off work, and I wanted to find her in the parking lot to flip her off, and I felt like pulling her freaking hair out, OMG that is NOT me, I seriously become another person, and I feel like im ageing there. You cracked me up when you wrote about the "One Pharmacy Call" "Lane One" "Lane Two" lol (GOSH I HATE THOSE WORDS), no but seriously like Im the new girl NO ONE answers the freaking calls, HELLOOOO I don't know anything I Cant answer any questions!! So Im always asking for help to answer their inquiries, and one of my co-workers (the lead tech that's supposed to train me on the job but hasn't) even told me "god your driving me nuts!!!" I was just like WHAT??? Are you serious? I'm telling you Im in hell… As for the pharmacist we also have two and they HATE to be bothered, you can see it in their faces, and yes they don't do anything but supervise, and they WILL NOT back you up, you are on your own! and they are not nice to the techs, they are stuck ups, but let me tell ya they are the masters of disguise!! They are soo nice and polite to the customers you cant even recognize them. As you said they are the ones getting the 80,000dollar yearly income and the techs get all the crap. Im soo sorry that you get out so late and don't even have time for you son, and when you do come back home your stressed, that sucks. I havent done any insurance calling, I can just imagine how frustrating that is! And all that bull crap about calling doctors, and clients. Oh how stupid is it that we have to call customers to get refills!! We could go on and on forever… However I went to a staffing agency today and it looks like they might have something for me, its going to pay 50cents less but Im going to be happy again! And tomorrow Im going to another staffing agency to see what they might have, I need a job NOW and I cant afford to apply at companies and wait for them like a month to call me back. One advice for you.. since you already have 2 ½ year experience, why don't you get certified let cvs pay for it, and then find a job at a hospital.. I've read that it is less stressful, pay better, and they don't have as much contact with the public, many times nurses go and pick up the prescriptions, and/or they have a clerk. I just cant be there another day!!. Well GOOD LUCK girl, may GOD bless you and your child!! Thank you soo much for your answer! It helped a lot.

sedation dentistry question?
I'm terrified of going to the dentist - because of this my teeth have been suffering. Well as of friday i have had the worst tooth ache ever, it hurts if i close my mouth and my teeth touch that tooth. I havent been to the dentist since i was a kid (im 20 now) I was wondering about sedation dentistry...is it safe? Also i don't think we have dental insurance, so how much will it cost? I don't know what to do, im suffering with this toothache, but im embarrassed to go to a regular dentist, and i fear the pain..
--------------------
I feel your pain, as i just went to the dentist for the first time in 14 years last Thursday (after a traumatizing dental experience as a kid), and lucky me, I found myself in the dental surgeon's office the next day getting an abscessed tooth pulled. All the while, my dental phobia is well on it's way to being out of my life. As far as sedation goes, some dentists will give you two pills to take; one an hour before your appointment, and one when you get to the office. This will pretty much put you in a relaxed state of mind, not having a care in the world. Some also offer laughing gas, IV sedation, etc etc. Mind you, for IV sedation and such, your toothache will be nothing compared to your bill. Even when they pulled my tooth, they used Novocaine, and I was so numbed up, I was actually amused by slapping myself before the doctor came to get the work done! If I were you, I'd just take a deep breath, call up the office, let them know of your fear, and go on in. Just tell your dentist about your fear, and if he's a good dentist, he will be understanding. More than likely, he's going to just look at the tooth that's been bugging you, take a few X-Rays, and that'll be it. Especially with your toothache, I definately wouldn't let that go. If it's abscessed, and you let it continue on it's course, it can become life threatening. Good luck to you, I hope you feel better soon. =EDIT= I looked up IV sedation, and you're looking at $250.00 for that alone, the simple tooth extraction being around $80 if you needed that (may or may not.)

does anyone know who wrote this poem?
this poem is from the movie trainspotting but i dont know who wrote it , its called choose life Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a ******* big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of ******* fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the **** you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing ******* junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, ****** up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

What is happening to my teeth?!?
My teeth have always been really healthy. I have NEVER had a cavity. Last week my 14 month old jumped up while I was playing with him & hit me under the chin with his head. It made my bottom teeth slam into my top ones really hard & then slide across them a bit. It hurt REALLY bad for a minute but then I was fine. The next day my top right front tooth started hurting & continued to hurt for 3 days straight before it stopped. The day it stopped the one next to it (top left front) started hurting. It has been hurting for 3 days now & feels the same as the other one did. The pain isn't really bad, but it feels like a light throbbing pain that doesn't stop. Then yesterday I noticed that my teeth are starting to move. I don't mean they are loose...I mean the position they are in is changing! I had a gap between those 2 front teeth as a kid that closed up once all of my permanents came in & now the gap has started to open back up. I want to go to the dentist, but I don't have dental insurance right now & I can't afford to pay for a visit. Like I said, I have always had really healthy teeth. But this is starting to scare me! Do you think it is from him hitting me or could it be something else? Anyone else ever had this happen?

army marriage benefits for non military spouse?
My boyfriend and I are talking about marriage but hes in the army. I know I get medical and dental insurance but what else am I entitled to? He has mentioned that the army would pay for my college as well as his. Is this true? What are all the benefits I would get as his spouse not living on base?
--------------------
I hope you are not getting married for love and not benefits... If he meets requirements he can pass a portion of his GI Bill to you. Well he will be in barracks more than likely unless he is going reserve or guard. If you are married the military will pay your way.

Would you of had kids if this is how it was presented to you?
POSITION : Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop JOB DESCRIPTION : Long term, team players needed, for challenging permanent work in an, often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call.

Extensive courier duties also required. RESPONSIBILITIES : The rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next.

On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis. WAGES AND COMPENSATION : Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give them whatever is left.

BENEFITS : While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth, unconditional love, and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.
