[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Child support wouldn't bother me.  Anyone with kids will have to pay child support.  If you can't handle that, don't date anyone with kids.

I'd be stressed out by the alimony, though.  Alimony means that he is paying another woman not to work.  Alimony means that I will be paying more money for shared expenses so that another woman doesn't have to work, or gets to work part-time.  I would resent that.  Someone else would have a better lifestyle at my expense, and I'm not cool with that.

But that's me.  Your results may vary.[/quote]

I don't think that's true. I know people with 50/50 agreements. Neither pays child support and they see their kids equally. Which is how I think it should be.

It gets to be a hairy situation when the kids of the second wife can't afford to do anything because the kids of the first wife receive much more child support. I  have friends (now grown) who were in that situation. Their dad had to pay the first kid's colleges, but couldn't afford it for the second family's kids. [/quote]
