I should add, having experience with the Friend of the Court in Michigan that they use a formula to determine the support and I don't know of any cases where they vary from that formula. That's why she only got $7000 instead of the $45K that she requested. The formula is strictly based on income and the number of days each year that you have custody of the child. If you have an extremely high income, then the child support will be extremely high. If you have a low income, then it will be very low. If he takes full custody (and surely he could afford an expensive lawyer who could get it for him), he doesn't have to pay a dime.
My bringing up the lottery was because that's the only way I'd ever make a large amount of money. Since my ex-husband and I have 50-50 joint custody, I would have to give him a huge chunk of my lottery earnings too. He then would also live the same lifestyle that I do, so that the kids are always living the same lifestyle.
You help produce a child, you are responsible for said child.
