Re: Why should there be ANY support?

11/27/04 10:36 PM

first off I agree that the expense exchange generally doesnt work. Your child support even at 50/50 should be based on incomes. I do not agree with.. the you have one child and he has the other so it breaks even and neither do the courts. It is not hidden alimony. Child support was never meant to be I pay 500 a month and you pay 500 a month so therefore the child gets $1000. The courts look at this as percentages. So lets say you make 20k and he makes 60k then you both should be supporting the child equally and since he makes 3 times as much then his share of the support is three times as much in dollars but in reality it is the same. In this case if his support was 600 a month then yours would be 200 and that comes out to 10% of both your incomes. So you are supporting them equally. In a situation where one has one child and one has the other this allows the children to live in a lifestyle very much alike. If it was 50/50 exactly like some here think it should be then one child would be wearing k-mart and the other Nordstroms. You got the divorce not the children so they should not have to suffer. As the judge explained it to me, when you were married you did not look at her to pay 50 cents for each dollar you spent. If you lived a life that said the children could afford Nordstroms you can not now expect them to go to Kmart just becuase it is coming out of your pocket. It was coming out of your pocket then.
