Out of $35,700, average joe has either $23K/year or $18.5K/year to live on...

LOL so. If you had a kid then 100% of that would be going to taking care of your child.
dude, I have been taking care of my nieces on and off for 11 years...my brother in law out of the last 15 years has paid the equivalent of about 2 years in child support.
I know what the costs are involved in taking care of a child, and even if he gave us the $350 to "help" that would just cover food, and 1 utility...while I pay the rest of the bills..that does not include clothing, school activities, school uniforms, health care, etc..etc..etc.
