[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$1300/month sounds high given what I know about how paltry child support calculations are. My ex makes $5000K, I make $150K, and he pays $2K/month.[/quote]

You make a really good income.  So, do you spend $2500-3K on your child each month?  Doubtful.  You get a very good amount that should cover all expenses.[/quote]

It costs at least $1000/month in rent alone for a second bedroom. It’s $500/month minimum on food. It’s more than $500/month on activities. This does not include  clothing, medical care, social life, birthday or holiday gifts or parties, education, educational enrichment, camp, childcare/sitters, transportation, school supplies or fundraisers, utilities, travel, or anything else and he is not even a teenager yet. Hell I known people who spend $10K a year per child on sports alone. Seriously when someone makes $500K per year and has no child-related overhead and the other parent has 100% custody, why would you think that person should only spend $24K/year on said kid.[/quote]

So, basically, you want a premium lifestyle. He is not obligated to provide them.

$500 a month on activities? GTFOH.[/quote]
