[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes so he's paying for half.  Shouldn't she also be paying for half?  20k x 2 is 40k.  40k x 18 years is $240,000 and meets the average above. [/quote]

Actually it's quite a bit less than $240,000.  And as I said, that is an average, taking into account kids who grew up in Tennesee and on food stamps and such.  The average for a NICE childhood is significantly higher, I'm sure.  The Washingtonian once estimated the yearly income required for living a nice life and raising kids right in DC to be 2 million a year.  Obviously, that is high, but there are different standards for giving your kid a nice life, and also for living in DC.  Maybe people should think of the actual CHILDREN and their quality of life instead of getting revenge on the "mean" ex wife.  JFC it's so immature I can't even deal...[/quote]

A I missing something. The average cost to raise one child is approximately 245k.  OPs husband is spending less than that in contribution to raise three kids. That 240k number OP cited ( 20*2)(40*18) is for three kids, not one kid.  OPs calculation equals the cost contribution for one child.  Therefore, he is not paying nearly enough to meet the national average for three kids. [/quote]
