Louisiana Child Support Laws

Anyone had any dealings with the fine folks in a Louisiana Family Court lately? They have gone nuts.

Hopefully, some Louisiana lawyers will chime in here, but I had the recent privilage of re-visiting some child support issues with my ex, in court of course. And some of what transpired, blew me away. I won't go into too many details here, but there is one thing in particular that jumped out at me as being grossly unfair.

If one party filed a tax return under a business, for instance, they are allowed to use all their deductions, etc., to arrive at taxable income.

If the other party has only W-2 income, they use the gross income. Period.

Sometimes, things like this make me wish I was a lawyer because that smacks as being inequitable to me. That sounds like a case of the State running over people civil rights. The opportunities for a business owner to write crap off are endless, but the other party doesn't get the same treatment?

I feel like calling the ACLU on them. Anyone else had any dealing with the State lately?
