[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The crazy thing is that when he has more kids, each won’t get $2400. I make a similar amount and bring home 3k a paycheck (after maxing out retirement and my health insurance)

I know dh and I don’t spend that on our kids a month. We have the same house and cars we did prekids, so those costs would be the same regardless of kids. [/quote]

Same with us.  It costs us no more in housing or electricity as we'd have the house regardless.[/quote]

Are you a single Mom? Without a child I could live in a 1 bedroom apartment. With a child we need two bedrooms. The cost goes up quite a bit.[/quote]

No, two parents.  Yes, I could live in a one bedroom with my child.  I'd sleep in the living room and put them in the bedroom.  You don't need, you want.  The difference usually is  a  few hundred dollars a month for an apartment for an extra den or bedroom depending on where you live.  So, then that difference should be split.  However, Dad also needs space in his home so you both have equal expenses of extra space.

We have a small house with several bedrooms.  We'd have that same small house regardless of kids.

You may be single but you are not the only parent if you are getting child support.[/quote]
