RHITs, which is what she's working on her degree in, pays, starting around $15 an hour.

You all are arguing that he shouldn't have to pay $7000 a month in child support. If the father wanted custody, he could get it. He has to want it.

All you have done is complain that she's getting too much. How much should she get and how should she raise this child in a standard of living similar to her father's?

The article said that dad buys her clothes and takes her to amusement parks in the summer. That's not parenting, that's entertaining. I don't consider that actively involved. Actively involved means he sits down and helps with homework, takes her to doctor appointments, does her laundry, cooks her food, etc. He's not tucking her in at night or reading her a bed time story.

Where did I say that he was getting paid for life? I said his money is guranteed unlike the NFL.

I am not arguing that him paying 7,000 is too much. I think that is fine. I am upset at the fact she seeked much more than that and then some. The college fund...that is great for the kid. So long as the baby momma don't touch it. 45,000 grand a month? That is a substantial hike man. Most of us are wondering whether or not the mommy is seeking lifestyle benefits. THAT is what we have a problem with. The kid getting all this money? No, that is fine. Baby momma driving around in a Lexo or a Cadilac wearin the bling bling while watching the Young and the Restless having the nanny pick up the daughter from day care. Nah uh. She probably couldn't afford that with 7,000 a month...but she sure could have afforded that had she gotten 45,000 a month!

You don't know the mother is doing any of these things, either, I'd like to point out. Take off the Mom Jeans and Motherly-Tint Sunglasses and try to see what I'm saying - HINT: I've never said $7k was too much.

I don't think anyone has been upset at the $7,000; I'm not even sure anyone is really upset about any of this. What I'm questioning, at least, is that if she's asking for $45,000, how that money would be used.

I don't think anyone has said the $7,000 is too much.

ETA: We don't really know her involvement - she may not exactly be an All-Star parent either (no pun intended).

Well, when I posted that I thought $7000 was fair, everybody argued with me.. who knew we were all in agreement?

I am almost positive that we were all saying that $7,000 is plenty fair.

What we were saying is that $45,000 + a month is beyond extreme.

Dee Dee Dee . . . you're strawmanning. People argued with the other provisos and untrue statements you added onto the statement about $7k being fair.

He should get custody and put her in a boarding school.

Oh Dee you silly porkupine. Come give me a hug.




On second though, no...don't give me a hug. I don't want your needles poking me. How about I just blow you a kiss and give you a ring pop instead?

My stance from my first post was that the court was fair. My second post discussed the formula more specifically.
