They do look at both sides. It's this fucked up formula they have that goes like this:
1) Add your monthly income and her monthly income together
2) Figure what your percentage of that total amount you make up
3) Look at the handy dandy chart they provide-find your combined income, cross reference it against your number of children
4) Take that amount, multiple it by your percentage-this is what you'll owe
5) Stick your dick in a blender
Lawyers will give you bullshit about they have the latest software blah blah blah. Using the Commonwealth's chart, formula, and excel I was able to figure what I owed within 3ยข.

If you are really interested, I can post a clean copy of the spreadsheet calc I made later this evening.
Where I got fucked is that they accepted her argument that it should only be monthly job income. She has investments which she is using the earned interest to supplement working for a non-profit. It's all bullshit.
