I can't stand it when people whine about child support.
I have serious issues with alimony, I don't think someone should get a monthly stipend just because they happened to be married to you once....but child support is a whole different story.
The guy's story that started this thread doesn't make sense to me....medical expenses that the insurance didn't cover?
Then don't pay the medical bills and let them sue you....don't skip out on your child support to pay the fucking hospital.
I don't know how it works in other states, but in Louisiana they have a book with tables in it. You add up the gross income of the mother and the father, find that number in the table and it gives you a dollar amount.
If you make 60% of the total combined income, then you're responsible for paying 60% of that dollar amount in child support. Pretty cut and dried.
As for the wife getting the house, it is normal for whomever keeps the kids to keep the house. Or would you rather stay in the house yourself and have your children living in a roach infested apartment?
They're your fucking kids, take care of them. They didn't ask to be born and you gave up your right to put yourself first when you had them.
