[quote=Anonymous]Are you rich? Will money always flow freely to your child? Children cost an incredibly amount of money.

Quality extra-curricular activities are expensive. I spend about $2k per kid per year (violin, gym, theater, etc).
Private school, if your child needs it, is expensive. It could run you $40K per child per year.
Even if you go public, summer camps are expensive. $200 a week minimum during most of the summer.
Tutoring for test prep, academic evaluations, therapies are expensive (the latter most often not covered by insurance). One evaluation I 'm looking at for my oldest with will cost me between $3K-6K.

Everything that as a parent one can do to get one's child ahead of the pack to succeed is expensive. 
And then what about a minimum of outfits and accessories so that your child doesn't feel left out socially? Those trendy clothes and electronics add up too fast for my liking :-)

So... you really need child support. 
Even if your spouse doesn't have a dime to his name right now, he might later on and be made to pay it.

Right now you are depressed with low self-esteem and can't think straight. Hire a good lawyer to help you. Don't be afraid to ask people for help and stop thinking about disturbing their comfort. They're not the ones going through a divorce right now, you are! Be insistent yet polite.

You will really regret it later if you don't fight the good fight now.[/quote]
