[quote=Anonymous][quote]You do realize that what your wife gave you, you couldn't get by yourself right? The kids. You can't have kids. [b]I don't think that men are doing their wives any favo[/b]r by supporting them post divorce. In every case, I see women come out poorer than the men. To me, it should be a fifty-fifty split since the most valuable asset in a marriage was brought to the table by the mother.[/quote]

I think the point the PP had was that he did not have to give his EDH 50%, not matter what you think is fair.

When one spouse earns more than 50% more than the other, Fairfax Circuit Court decided the higher breadwinner should pay 30 percent of her or his income, less half the amount of the lower breadwinner’s income.   If you do the math, that is very seldom a 50%-50% split.  Remember, child support is not determined in under the same set of guidelines as spousal support.

Given this fact, it is lkely he gave her a better deal than he would have been forced to under a court's order.
