[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new wife's income won't matter, but he still has an obligation to pay for his first two kids.

Have you done the child support calculator for Maryland? I just ran your incomes, and he should be paying you $1174 a month for two kids.   But this doesn't take into consideration any day care you need or who's paying for their health insurance.

And who gets to claim the kids on their taxes?  I hope it's you.[/quote]

He pays health insurance.  I want him to pay $1500/month.  I have to use so much of my income to pay rent while he gets to live so well.[/quote]

You can want him to pay $3000 a month.  Does not mean you can get it.  Have the kids live with them, problem solved.  You can then get an efficiency or roommate and then they can enjoy his lifestyle better.[/quote]

He doesn't want them full time.  Just every other weekend.[/quote]

This is a common problem, OP.

The kids suffer from the disparity in income, but when they are adults, they realize which parent made the sacrifices and did all the heavy lifting. You don't have to tell them. They will remember and figure it out on their own. My older DD used to be impressed by her dad's luxury cars. Then, when she got to high school, [b]she realized he was leasing them while she was wearing clothes from the thrift store[/b]. [/quote]

I'm a second wife.  I'd be livid if my husband were living substantially higher than his kids.   Any parent who puts things like cars before kids' needs is disgusting.  I'm sorry she went through that.  [/quote]
