[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]State mandated levels of child support are very low compared to what it really takes to raise a child. Think bare minimum in terms of food, housing, etc.  Also, divorced parent is not legally obligated to pay for tutors, out of network medical care, private school or college nor, in many states, any child support beyond age 18. (Although DC mandates child support until age 21).[/quote]

Anyone who earns a decent income and pays child support knows this is BS. And if your income is approaching 1 million, you are getting hosed in most states. We are talking big bucks. I'm not sure how you could possibly spend that much raising kids unless you blew it on designer clothes [b]or private schools[/b].[/quote]

Well like a typical family in this tax bracket we do send our kids to private schools? What a weird comment. That said given real estate trends in this area it would cost $$$$ for an ex wife to maintain a household in the previous school district as a single mom. So no, it makes perfect sense that a high income father needs to pay major child support or risk his kids having a very different quality of life post divorce. [/quote]
