[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is trying to lock in a higher amount to make sure she still gets enough after you have more kids.  It happens a lot and she is not crazy for doing it.  You should have expected this.[/quote]

That doesn't work though.  At about month 7 in her new wife's pregnancy [b]he is going to file for a change of child support based on a new child.[/b]  It's a change in circumstances and since child support is done by calculation exW will be losing money.  [/quote]

That makes no sense. If he has new kids, the older kids still cost the same as they always did. Do child support calculations really cut the obligation to older kids when younger kids arrive?[/quote]

Yes, they do.  Each additional child will roughly cut in half his current obligation to his ex-wife.  This is one reason divorced men often times have two or more children with their new wife--it pays![/quote]

That is NOT the reason why they have children with the new wife. The notion of taking on a life-long commitment to raise additional children just to save a little money in the short term is absurd.

Also, [b]according to the state [/b]a new child is worth 2.5% of available resources while a child of the divorce is worth 10% of available resources. That means the ex wife will get 0.1 X 97.5% of the fathers income even if he asked for an adjustment based on a new child. That does NOT cut the child support in half. It only reduces by a very small fraction.

According to which state?  There are 51 of them and each calculates child support differently.  [/quote]
