[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The crazy thing is that when he has more kids, each won’t get $2400. I make a similar amount and bring home 3k a paycheck (after maxing out retirement and my health insurance)

I know dh and I don’t spend that on our kids a month. We have the same house and cars we did prekids, so those costs would be the same regardless of kids. [/quote]

Same with us.  It costs us no more in housing or electricity as we'd have the house regardless.[/quote]

Are you a single Mom? Without a child I could live in a 1 bedroom apartment. With a child we need two bedrooms. The cost goes up quite a bit.[/quote]

No, you don’t “need” that. You want it. [/quote]

So your argument is that OP should tell her BF “go to court and reduce your payment. I don’t care if your ex and child have to move into a 1 bedroom apartment or move away from your child’s school and friends.”[/quote]

If the amount is too high per child support guidelines, yes, she should.  Mom is also responsible for her kids needs and her own housing.   If you cannot afford where you live regardless of divorce, you move.  You sound very entitled.  How will you manage when child support stops?[/quote]
