The judges discretion is the biggest wildcard.
Only if you let it go to court and have the state decide. If the two people are on good terms and can work out their own agreement, then a judge may never even see your child support case. Louisiana does allow people to set their own agreements up. This is the case with myself right now. I still determine payment based on the tables in the civil code though. My case is a little tougher because both my ex and I are considered the custodial parents and neither of us has more say than the other. Its truly 50/50 across the board on everything and this is recognized in the custody agreement the court has on file.

Yes...This is why I strongly suggest keeping in good terms with the ex (or baby momma). Yours is a best case scenario and not everyone is so lucky. The thing is...even if you get a bad ruling today, it can always be changed in the future if the two parents agree to something different. This is a "keep your enemies closer" sort of perspective.
