Child support is for the essential needs of the child (food, shelter, clothing, health insurance coverage, work-related childcare if applicable, some educational fees, etc - it's all noted on the damn child support calculator form) and does NOT include things like Christmas presents, full stop. Your ex is an absolute jacka$$.

Kevin Costner pays $63,209 per month in child support.

"Essential needs" my butt. [/quote]

I guess you are incapable of using your brain, PP?  :roll: Sure, let's use a filthy rich celebrity as an example. Child support is calculated based on the amount of overnights the child spends with each parent, **each parent's income**, and the costs of the essential needs of the child. For a child of extremely wealthy parents - yes, the cost of shelter is significantly more expensive, for example. So is food and clothing. Come on, now. You can be butthurt that the essential needs of a child whose parents are wildly rich are a lot higher than the average person, but that's the reality. 
And this example does not apply to the *vast majority* of average divorced parents.  :roll:
