The parties will share legal and physical custody of the two
children, Nicolas Aaron Greet (D.O.B. 6-7-1999) and Alexandra
Jordan Greer (D.0.B. 10-21-2000). The children shall go the
daycare of Wife's choosing.
3.04 CHILD SUPPORT, HEALTH INSURANCE AND EDUCATIONAL
EXPENSES
Husband agrees to provide Medical (as distinguished from
Dental and Vision Insurance) insurance on both children. For
Dental and Vision, Husband agrees to either purchase Dental and
22
Vision Insurance for the children, or be responsible to pay 100%
of Dental and Vision expenses of the children. Husband shall be
responsible to pay 50% of unreimbursed (unreimbursed expenses are
those expenses not paid by the insurance company) Medical expenses
of the children. Wife shall be responsible to pay 50% of
unreimbursed Medical expenses of the children. If Husband does
not purchase Dental or Vision Insurance for the Children then
Husband shall be responsible to pay 100% of the unreimbursed
Dental and Vision expenses of the children, if Husband does
purchase Dental or Vision Insurance for the Children, Husband
shall be responsible to pay 50% of the unreimbursed Dental and
Vision expenses and Wife shall be responsible to pay 50% of the
unreimbursed Dental and Vision expenses.
Each month, beginning immediately, Husband agrees to pay Wife
$730.00 ($730.00 being the monetary amount of child support) plus
100% of any daycare expenses plus 100% of any private school
expenses. On or before April 15 of every year until and including
such year as the youngest child turns 18 years old or graduates
high school, whichever is later, Husband shall turn over to Wife
his Federal income tax return for the previous year. Upon signing
of this agreement Husband shall turn over to Wife's possession his
2002 Federal income tax return. In the event Husband's gross
income (not adjusted gross income) for years subsequent to 2002,
increases by a certain percentage as evidenced by Husband's
Federal income tax return, Wife, upon written request to Husband,
shall be entitled to an increase in her then existing monetary
amount of child support by that same percentage. In the event
23
Husband's gross income (not adjusted gross income) decreases by a
certain percentage as evidenced by Husband's Federal income tax
return, Husband, upon written request to Wife, shall be entitled
to a decrease in the amount of child support he owes by that same
percentage. In no event shall Husband pay less then $730.00 per
month in child support, plus 100% of any daycare expenses plus
100% of any private school expenses. When Nioolas turns 18 years
old or graduates high school, whichever is later, Husband's child
support obligation shall be calculated as set forth above and then
divided by 2. When Alexandra turns 18 years old or graduates High
School, whichever is later, Husband's obligation to pay child
support ceases.
An illustration of the above described child support
obligation is as follows: Husband's gross 2002 income was
$100,000.00~. His 2003 gross income increases 10% to $110,000.00.
Husband's monthly monetary child support obligation increases 10%
to $803.002. Then, Husband's 2004 gross income decreases 5% to
$104,500.00. Husband's monthly monetary child support obligation
decreases 5% to $762.853.
The entire contents of this paragraph (3.04) may be modified
by a Court of proper Jurisdiction at any time upon receiving a
properly filed request from either Husband or Wife for
modification. Husband and Wife agree that the standard the Court
should use in issuing a new child support Order is that the Court
(or Domestic Relations) should issue a child support Order
To simplify the example, the round number of $100,000.00 is being used.
Plus 100% of any daycare expenses plus 100% of any private school expenses.
24
consistent with the law (support guidelines) in place at the time
and the amount of Child Support should be calculated as if this
property settlement agreement were never entered into.
Plus 100% of any daycare expenses plus 100% of any private school expenses.
