Dads don't pay child support so that the mother can sit at home and eat bon-bons all day. They're paying for THEIR SHARE of what it costs to support the child.
They're not supposed to be paying your rent and your car payment and all of that shit....the money is for their share of what it costs to feed, clothe, and shelter the child.

In my state there's a chart they use. They total your income and her income and based on that amount the chart says "X" amount is for child support. (There are different numbers for people with more than one child)
If you make 50% of the total combined income, then you pay half of that amount. If you make 60% of the total then that's what you pay and so on.

The judge can't make you pay more because he doesn't like you or because your wife says you beat her or any shit like that. It's a pretty set in stone number. (Thank God)
