[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there are guidelines, not likely there is much you can do. But seriously, $20k support per year for your kids isn’t a lot. A judge isn’t going to have sympathy. Your first duty is to support your kids. Do you need a car?  Can you get cheaper rent?  [/quote]

It’s a lot when he has the same expenses in his home for the kids too.  [/quote]

Yep this is what a lot of people either forget or simply ignore. Child support decreases the income of 1 person while raising the income of the other. And it's always the same excuse kids are expensive. No sh**t. OP has his kids 40% of the time and yet he covers their expenses in both households. This is one of the reason some men are so stressed financially that it affects their relationship with their kids. Men's mental health in this country nobody gives a sh**t. We only care about women's mental health. For men it's always the same toughen up.

And in NY you pay child support until they are 21. And guess what? Even when they are in college you still need to keep paying child support and it's separate from college tuition. So you still need to keep sending those checks even though the child is away in college.

NY is one of the worst state if you have child support payment and you are not wealthy. [/quote]

Wa, wa… in other words it’s cheaper to keep her, especially if you live in NY. [/quote]

Maybe she realized if was better to drop him lol. There is a financial incentive with divorce in certain cases. [/quote]
