Feeling odd about my DD's money

[Anonymous]

What good would that do? he'll probably decrease his payments or ask you to pay her college tuition.

ya giving someone 86k a year in cash is insane. like NO ONE deserves that.

You would then need this reserve for child support. Talk to him about tuition, and see what he proposes. You can say "yes, I can cover x amount" and take that from your reserve.

The ex cannot reduce payments if he feels like it.

He must have a high income to afford that. I think you should put that money someplace safe for your child. Offer to pay whatever percentage of her expenses you normally pay...20 percent, forty, whatever if the school is one you both agree on. Do not give it to the child in any lump sum.

Why not? It's a percentage of Dads income.... Same as every other kid gets---- a percentage of the non custodial parents income

+1 And it isn't 'his' money but hers. If he can afford to give that much in support, he isnt exactly struggling.

My friend gets 25k/mo and deserves that. Her ex ran off with a 22yr old...no joke. He was a horrible serial cheater and even frequented hookers. Why does he deserve to make enough to buy the 22yr old a new range rover and leave his first wife and kids out?

I'm glad he's getting raked over the coals. He's just fine, he makes well over 7 figures. 25k/mo is pocket change.

if we were talking about smaller sums of money, eg if the ex was a cop or fireman, I would definitely tell him and put it towards the tuition.. They work really hard to make ends meet and make child support payments and paying tuition and there is no need to drip him dry. BUT, if he truly is rolling in the dough like people are assuming, mums the word. Let him keep contributing to her well being.

$25k a month! That is ludicrous. Your friend needs to get a job.

She did get a job, obviously -- the oldest one there is. It just has a great golden parachute when you get "fired."

She also got the house which is paid off and enormous and half of retirement savings. She will get the 25k/mo for the next 15 years, which HE pays the taxes on. So she nets 300k/year. Come again? Why does she need a job? She has a job, cashing his checks.
