[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If most dads were completely honest, they do 50/50 to try to avoid child support.[/quote]

If most moms were completely honest, they ask for more custody to try and get more child support.[/quote]

This is not true.  You need to look at the roles the parents played during the marriage, because those roles are likely to continue after divorce.  During the marriage, I purchased the children's clothing, registered for activities, bought school supplies, etc. and now that we are divorced this has continued.  More child support is necessary for the parent who is handling these expenses, whether it's the mom or the dad.  In my situation, my ex refuses to contribute for any additional expenses beyond the child support payment, which is why child support amounts end up being such a battle between ex spouses.[/quote]

The whole purpose of the child support your ex is paying IS to cover the things you mentioned. Why is he a bad guy for paying what the court ordered and not the arbitrary amount you’ve decided you are “owed”? This attitude kills me.[/quote]
