[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you would be surprised how many women want custody for child support and in most cases, even 1/2 of it is not used on the kid. This is a known fact based on various different levels of research. Can't deny it. [/quote]

lol, spoken like someone who has no clue how much kids actually cost. [/quote]

Actually its true.  You can pretend it isn't.  Most of us have kids.  My housing costs are the same if my child lives here or not.  My utilities are the same as I have to heat and cool it so what a drop extra in water?  So, the differences are food, clothing (not that expensive) and activities (this is choice not requirement so it could be 0, it could be a few hundred or a few thousand).  Public school is free.  Our big expense is saving for college and activities as we choose to spend a lot on activities.  Likewise both parents should financially contribute.  Child support is the court determined parents share but that is not supposed to be inclusive and the custodial parent also needs to contribute.  Custodial parent needs a car, housing and other basics for themselves.  So, you cannot say oh, I need a car for my child but not me.  Oh, I need a house for my child but not me when you would have those things regardless of a child.[/quote]
