[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even $2000 a month isn’t enough to live large, it might cover rent but that’s it. Kids with divorced parents can’t always afford sports and college now that there are two households to support. If you want those for your kid, you need to start earning more and save. [/quote]

It won’t cover rent in this area. I rent a 2 bedroom 2 bedroom apt in rockville for more than $3000 a mo.  [/quote]

I'm a divorced mom and have had to move my two kids into a basement apartment for $1500 so I can still afford some activities at the school and around town and be able to fix the car etc. I do sometimes eat out with the kids when I don't have time to cook. That is my huge wasteful spending of the month. Threads like these make me ill. Like society really needs thousands of men with income beyond necessities using their money to play in life versus taking care of families. Not one man has written how he now has more money going to the kids than before.  It doesn't happen. I don't think it would be a bad idea actually to make public the childcare expenses. Maybe Virginia will see that their childcare amounts don't even cover food and utility costs for the month. Also couldn't you get an itemized list of expenses if you went to court? I think the only reason they don't is that it's more work and the amounts are so low to begin with. Is it really worth the time to itemize $400 per child a month in expenses? It probably costs more to house adults a month in a homeless shelter. I agree if an adult tried to sever the relationship by either being dangerous or cheating which is also dangerous that the alimony should be reduced.[/quote]
