You make my point. I'd would have costs if I never had kids. You can't live for free. So I only expect my ex to only pay for her share of the extra expense of having a child and nothing more.

LOL I made your point?..show me where I said they should pay more?
Jeez dude...my point has been ALL ALONG that if a court orders you to pay 15-30% that's less than what you would be paying if the kid lilved with you...for most people that's a fact.
My brother in law is required to pay $350 a month...has been for years now.
That does not cover the costs associated with raising two girls, never has.
If they lived with him those costs would be considerably more...YOU CANNOT DENY THAT.
Can't you look at your own expenses and figure this shit out?
You trying to tell me that if your kid was living with your ex *let's say she's 100% okay* and all you were required to pay is $350-$500 a month that would be more than if the kid lived with you?
