[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the answer changes whether you married a SAHM or a working woman who makes the same income. [/quote] Good point here. My dad married a SAHM. So, she paid $0. In short order, they had a kid. Then dad proceeded to stop spending money on his "first marriage" kids -- paid child support only -- and started spending money on "second family" kid. [/quote] If Mom got child support, that is his portion of what your needs would be and not reasonable. Your mom was also expected to contribute. Many think that child support is not significant and only consider anything extra is what really counts. That's not reasonable. He shouldn't have to pay child support, buy you a full wardrobe, pay for all your activities, etc. on top of that. Child support is supposed to cover it.[/quote]
