[quote=Anonymous]If everything is 50-50 then of course he should pay half. If I were you I’d setup a new bank account- each of you transfer enough in to cover household expenses (mortgage/rent, utilities, health insurance, groceries, childcare). The $ for childcare could come from that. Keep anything remaining in your own separate accounts (and that is where the $ he uses for his parent should come from by the way). That way you each have an equal Amt of $ to spend on non-household/child costs. One thing I would add is: are you paying hefty self employment taxes, and not contributing towards health care (I’m guessing that is through his job)? If so that skews the income a bit in his favor. Wouldn’t matter at our house but since you guys keep everything “separate” perhaps that helps skew his perspective. [/quote]
