[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on the info you gave here, the va calculator says you should get $1,100[/quote]

Already knew the calculator gives a pittance.
I’m not wondering what is legally mandated, I’m wondering what is fair.
X wants kids to live in a nice place, play sports, eat good food (and teens eat a lot!!) and thinks those things happen by magic.
If I picked what I would consider to be an affordable neighborhood, X would accuse me of placing the kids in danger. 
I do wonder if a certain poster is familiar at all with housing costs in DC area. 
It is not as if a 3 bedroom apartment or house is something every person would just easily have, unlike in rural areas where a house can be rented for 1k or less.

Yes it is fair. And I read your other whiny post. It seems like you didn’t think through the reality of divorce and the impact on being a single parent with a single income. Child support is not meant to cover every single expense related to your children. It is a portion and you also must be contributing a portion. You can’t pretend your situation has not changed both in term so financial impact and career impact. I always warn friends who are thinking of divorce to really think it through and understand what is going to happen and what their situation will really be post divorce. [/quote]
